Summary: import into KEYWORD should not change symbol-value

Initial Comment:
INTERNing in KEYWORD package makes the symbol a constant evaluating to itself.
IMPORTing, OTOH, should NOT make the symbol a constant.
e.g.:
(defvar foo 1)
(import 'foo "KEYWORD)
foo ==> 1
(in clisp, FOO now evaluates to itself, 
i.e., FOO -- NOT :FOO).

thank you for your bug report.
the bug has been fixed in the CVS tree.
you can either wait for the next release (recommended)
or check out the current CVS tree (see http://clisp.cons.org)
and build CLISP from the sources (be advised that between
releases the CVS tree is very unstable and may not even build
on your platform).
