Putting CLX under CLOCC?

[Raymond W. <Ray...@fa...>]

	Hi. I'm wondering whether it would make sense to place CLX
under CLOCC. CLX is a an implementation of Xlib for Common Lisp, i.e,
a low-level library for working with the X Window System.

	The main reasons that I think this would be a good idea
include:

	- CLX is (or was, originally) portable.

	- Some of the non-commercial Lisp implementations (and
	  possibly also some of the commercial ones) maintain their
	  own branches of CLX.

	- CLX generally needs some work to be made more portable, and
	  to become a better fit to the ANSI standard for Common Lisp
	  (e.g, replace CLX's proprietary defsystem with a defsystem
	  defintion that uses mk:defsystem; replace a number of
	  "defconstant"s with either "defparameter" or a combination
	  of "defconstant"/"load-time-value".)

	- It needs to be ported to new Lisp implementations (e.g, SBCL).

	I have a version of CLX that is based on the version shipped
with CMUCL, but with a number of modifications to make it work with
SBCL. I would really prefer not to have to maintain a separate branch
of CLX on my own.
