James,
This is great feedback, and I agree with all of it. The only problem is that there is little active interest in Cells, other than my own use of it, so I am not worrying much these days about making the Cells project approachable to others.
What I did with Cells-gtk was get a heavy user or two authorized as project admins so they could do things like fixing asdf-install.
I'd be one of those.
I'd be happy to apply this to cells-gtk. Is this what you were referring to when you were referring to the "gui stuff" ?
I think James was talking about Cells (active directory) being buried under cell-cultures along with the Cello "gui stuff".
I think I know the sort of problem you are trying to address here.
You might not see this in the distribution for a few weeks. Some time in May I'm going to look into getting cells-gtk running on sbcl, among other things.
I suggest you poke around and see if you want to use Cells for anything, and if so we can sort out the mess in CVS. I want to look at moving Cello out of the Cells project and back to the Cello project on c-l.net, and get cells out from under cells-culture back to being a top-level module of the Cells project.
Of course Cells-gtk would then have to be told the new home of Cells (and utils-kt and hello-c), so it could be a messy week.
We have a tarball distribution to weather messy weeks.
Don't encourage me. <g>
Which is why I will hold off until folks such as yourself pester me for, oh, two weeks straight. :)
Thanks again for the input.

Hey kenny is this really you? It looks like the shift key is starting to work on your keyboard ;^)
moment of weakness. :)
well, keep the pestering up (13 more days to go) and we can do something.
Is hello-c (or whatever we want to call "UFFI extended to support callbacks into Lisp from C as well as CLisp") going to get enough attention to warrant its own c-l.net project?
Should utils-kt quietly be redundantly added to Cells and hello-c? Or is it fine as a module under Cells? I doubt it is worth making into its own project, as at least one other did.
etc etc.
