[slime-devel] slime-maybe-start-lisp patch

[Robert Lehr]

I have applied this patch to my local installation of SLIME.
   
It enables me to point to the 'swank-loader' lisp in any location.  It
enables the user to bypass the original concatenation of SLIME-PATH
and SLIME-BACKEND depending on whether SLIME-BACKEND is an absolute
pathname or not.
   
In other words, if SLIME-BACKEND is an absolute pathname then the
original procedure is bypassed, avoiding the concatenation of
SLIME-PATH and SLIME-BACKEND.  Otherwise, they are concatenated.
   
Whether you accept this specific logic or not, you should be aware
that some installations do not want to put the emacs code and the lisp
code in the same location.  Hence, my conflict with the 'swank-loader'
that I resolved with this patch.
