Thanks, I'm on Windows (both W7 and WinXP), and SBCL 1.0.51, and not sure what version of SLIME. Pretty recent, I think. Let me know if it matters, and give a simple way to tell. Emacs 23.3.1.
I guess I'd like "your" SBCL to go into the unpatched, mainline SBCL. That's a start. What's the holdup?
Feel free to resend the donation URL? :)
Thanks, Mark

I'm just using reasonably recent SLIME and SBCL. Ctrl+c doesn't work. I can only use SBCL for limited trying out things, not for most of my development. Is there no way to get this just to be the default in the regular version of SBCL, and with default SLIME settings? Any news on that front?
For now, C-c C-c for SLIME+SBCL is supposed to work in all configurations where it can work at all. It means any threaded SBCL, and non-threaded SBCL on Unix-like systems.
Regular (i.e. nonpatched, mainline) SBCL *on Windows* doesn't support C-c C-c, because it has neither threads nor interrupts (mine has both, making it possible to use C-c in raw REPL, and in SLIME for non-:spawn communication mode when SBCL is started from emacs, as opposed to slime-connect'ing to an independent SBCL process).
It would be useful to know your OS, platform and SBCL version in order to give some relevant answer at first attempt. I've concentrated on Windows in my answer because it's hard to believe that such a failure is possible with current SBCL+Slime on Linux, and other platforms' users don't forget to name their OS when reporting a problem.
