slime-setup is usually executed in .emacs before connecting, so its a
bit difficult.  Also enabling certain contribs for only some Lisps is
not well supported.

slime-connected-hook, that is run after connecting but is run for every
connection.  slime-lisp-implementation-name or
slime-lisp-implementation-type could be used to detect what kind of Lisp
you are connected to.

Alternatively you can use the :init-function argument with
slime-lisp-implementations or slime-start.
