I'm interested in using Scigraph for generating histograms, but atm scigraph isn't in a good shape. The compatiblity layer for DWIM generates about 5-8 compile warnings (depends whether one is compiling to a fresh image or an image already containing dwim).
I would like to ask what's the future of the compatiblity layer. We have a lot read-time conditionals for genera or clim 0.9/1 in the dwim files. I'm pondering to remove these conditionals, as mcclim isn't clim-0.9 nor clim-1. Also there are some hacks for non-ansi CL environments. I'm temped to remove them too as I would have to wrap those things in #-ansi-cl. But that's not really useful anyway, as mcclim is ansi-cl.
So what about that: DWIM as contained in the mcclim repository is a compatiblity layer for running dynamic window code on mcclim (and only on mcclim) in an ANSI CL environment.
With a definition as above I could kick out ~25% of the DWIM code. Opinions? -- Fruhwirth Clemens - http://clemens.endorphin.org for robots: sp4mtrap@endorphin.org

What, and get rid of #FEATURE-CASE? :)

Although I found the Dynamic Windows code in DWIM interesting from a historical perspective, I think it's fine to strip it down to code that only supports McCLIM. I believe there are a couple of functions that are disabled in McCLIM; it would be worthwhile to investigate those and fix the problems in McCLIM.
