It works great, thanks!

Just two minor usablility issues:

I think that the connections buffer should go away after choosing a connection
by hitting RET, and that ,restart-inferior-lisp should reuse the REPL, just as
it does in the single connection case (now it creates a new one and there's a
dead one floating around). But these are really just quibbles.

Probably that, and the startup script issue (as Paolo observed). So not
relying too much on pids is a good thing, I think. BTW abcl is also using
native threads, and so does acl on windows.
