The following snippet adds support for per-slime-dialect hooks
to be called after the connection is established.

A subtle point is that this allows for nice customisation of lisp projects
to be run:

(define-slime-dialect "foo" "sbcl" nil (lambda ()
					 (cd "/foo/project/path/")
					 (slime-load-file "load-foo.lisp")))
(define-slime-dialect "bar" "sbcl" nil (lambda ()
				       	 (cd "/path/to/bar/project/")
					 (slime-load-file "load-bar.lisp")))

Granted, this could have been arranged for via parameters to sbcl, effectively
making an illusion of two "differeng" lisp implementations, but somehow
this just feels... cleaner?

(this is against cvs slime)
