Done for LispWorks.

A couple of questions:

1) Why do you have both a DEFGENERIC and a DEFIMPLEMENTATION for
SWANK-BACKEND:INSPECTED-PARTS?  Likewise, there are two real definitions of
the SWANK-BACKEND:INSPECTED-PARTS method specializing on T.  Should it be
removed from the backends?

2) Is it necessary to import CL symbols (e.g. METHOD) into SWANK-MOP?
