FWIW, I currently am /not/ a CL-GD user... :)

I wonder if it would make sense to use a common-lisp.net repository
instead of my local one so that "interested third parties" could go
wild on the code.  Hans?  Ryszard?  Anyone else?

BTW, what are your thoughts on this issue?

As I said, I think the Right Thing[TM] would be to get rid of
LOAD-GD-GLUE and to load the C libs on demand using relative pathnames
to make integration with delivered applications painless.
