Hi,
Alceste Scalas noticed that the problematic xref.lisp file is only used by clisp, so removing it becomes a possibility. It would be painfull for the clisp hackers, but who needs xref anyway? :-)
Then the only barriers between slime and main would be:
-swank-ecl.lisp: we could remove this too, but I would prefer to have it with _some_ licence - doc/Makefile HACKING NEWS PROBLEMS README ChangeLog someone just has to declare then PD?
Groetjes, Peter
