Emacs only cares about Emacs-Lisp code, so adding the clisp directory
has probably not much effect.  Doesn't hurt much either.

Looks good so far.

Usually slime is started manually with M-x slime but it should also work
this way.

If Emacs stays polling then there is almost certainly a buffer called
"*inferior-lisp*".  The standard output of the Lisp process goes there
so it would be interesting to see what that buffer contains.

Another problem could be that clisp is not the path (the path used to
search for executable programs, not Emacs's load-path).  But in that
case Emacs should not poll.
