[slime-devel] Stupid Xemacs

i would put it different: there are some quite useful functions (like
set-keymap-parents) that happen to be available in xemacs but not in
gnu emacs. therefore they are optionally defined to avoid redefining
them when running under xemacs.

i could have added it as slime-set-keymap-parents which would have
been even worse, imho.

as of defun*: i think that keyword args make the code much more
readable than using optional parameters, especially when there are
several optional args.
