PS: BTW, I've just built GNU Emacs 21.3.50 from CVS and when I started slime I got a message about a mismatch between the Elisp and swank dates or somesuch (sorry, I forgot to keep it). The slime REPL didn't start and I was in the normal inferior-lisp buffer instead. I removed the FASL files and restarted slime and everything was fine again (swank was recompiled). However, I thought I had read somewhere that swank would be automatically recompiled if needed. Am I wrong?
The swank code is recompiled if the one of the .lisp source files is newer than the corresponding fasl file and Emacs asks if he should recompile slime.el if an old slime.elc lies around. But we just abort when the Lisp and ELisp versions are out sync. Not sure if a more automatic mechanism is worth the trouble.
