Modifying the load-path seems a bit rude, but if you can't resist, please also update slime-setup in slime-autoloads.el (and there it has to work without requiring 'cl).

i'd tend to agree, but can you think of any reason a user who wants to load contribs wouldn't also have to add that directory to their load-path?

i guess one could want to keep slime in one directory and the contribs in some other tree, but that doesn't like a very normal thing to do...

I actually have this in my .emacs: (slime-setup '(slime-local)) and slime-local.el is in a completely unrelated directory.
