I just merged my package-split branch into the main trunk. We have now a new package SWANK-BACKEND. It is basically stand-alone and doesn't need the rest of SWANK. Of course, SWANK calls functions in the backend. I moved some functionality like handling of restarts and a lot symbol-to-string conversion to swank.lisp. The load order is now:
swank-loader, swank-backend, swank-[cmucl,sbcl...], swank
This means, we could define macros in the backend and use them in SWANK.
I tested a bit with my usual implementations. I added the necessary changes for OpenMCL, but don't know if they actually work. Feedback welcome.
Doesn't seem to work for sbcl 0.8.8.3 under FreeBSD - I'mgetting load errors for swank-source-path-parser. I also saw references to "unknown package SWANK", so I'm guessing that the compile/load order is wrong for SBCL.
Hmmm... I replaced
(in-package :swank)
with
(in-package :swank-backend)
in swank-source-path-parser.lisp and swank-gray.lisp; that seemed to solve the problem.
