I'm not sure if you do or not, though I would imagine that that will
work fine; I personally would prefer to be able to compile-file (or
'load-op) swank, because of the functionality that it can add to other
projects.  I suppose either one could adjust the .asd file for swank
to make it load source, or apply a patch like the attached.

Because I'm uncertain how much the base-level swank directory is open
to commits from dilettantes like me, I'm asking for review or some
kind of affirmation on this patch.  (In the case where this patch or
something with equivalent functionality is completely vetoed, it would
probably be sensible to revoke my cvs permissions explicitly, or at
least explain the ground rules for using them).

Cheers,
