We mailed them yesterday and they've offered licenses to Helmut and I
for SLIME development, and that should make things a bit
easier. Still, I don't think either of us will be using ACL for our
daily hacking so it's not the same as e.g. having Alanr and Gary on
OpenMCL and Martin Simmons on LispWorks.

*nod*. It would be great if Franz decided SLIME was important for
their customers and had a hacker look over our backend and participate
in this mailing list.
