Am I the only one who has problems with the recent inclusion of swank into mcclim? I am not disputing the honorable intentions of adding it but it clashes with my habits of administering mcclim and slime.

I update both mcclim and slime pretty frequently and I also regularly dump a core with mcclim to speed up (re)starting, and now troubles starts. When slime (from the emacs side) starts up the inferior lisp, it will set up to load swank which in my case comes straight from a CVS sandbox. But my mcclim enabled image already has a (possibly different) version of swank loaded and apart from a bunch of annoying warnings, the two versions of swank may clash in ways that makes starting fail (if for instance a struct has changed layout).

Would it be possible/acceptable to factor out the stuff that needs swank into a separate system such that one could choose between basic-clim or the swank-enhanced-clim depending on what one was looking for?
