[slime-devel] patch: make slime-connection ask if it should start slime if there is no connection

[Nikodemus Siivola]

The attached patch make SLIME-CONNECTION ask "No connection: start
Slime?" if there is no connection -- and then wait for the connection
to come up.

This means that things like absent-minded M-. when there is no
connection don't break the workflow as much.

Instead of

 M-. / "damn" / M-x slime (or however you customarily start slime) / M-.

the sequence becomes

 M-. / y

Reasons I did not merge this straightaway:

 * The waiting is not terribly elegant.

 * It would be a lot better if Slime started by SLIME-CONNECTION
   like this didn't rearrange windows the way it now does.

Cheers,

 -- Nikodemus
