I can confirm it's still working. I usually have the animation turned
off (it's quite slow on a 300mhz ppc) but the header-line is very
useful when connecting to multiple inferiors.

Here's the relevant fragment from my .emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/src/slime"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/src/slime/contrib"))

(require 'slime)
...
(require 'slime-banner)
;(setq slime-startup-animation t)
(setq slime-header-line-p t)
(slime-banner-init)

Although you could use add-hook 'slime-load-hook if you wanted.

I doubt it. The manual seems to cover the "stable release" and not
what's been going on in CVS.
