I've put a boilerplate Makefile for project management (snapshots, releases and web-updates) in the clo ftp:
I don't know how generally usefull it will turn out to be, but it's a though.

Also, tons of mails seem to have gone astray -- if you've tries to reach me, keep trying or catch me on #lisp. I'm trying to resolve this email problem, but I'm not really holding my breath.
