- In Makefile.in, in the install clause:

	if test ! -x ${bindir}/`basename ${LISP}` ; then	\
	    $(install) ${LISP} ${bindir} ;			\
	fi

what will happend if user did not dump an eclipse lisp image, and he 
upgrade his lisp system ?
I suspect he will got a copy of his old lisp trying to load an old lisp 
image, what should failed ?
What could we do to avoid this ? Not use this method in that case ? 
(this implie modification in eclipse.in)


  - I want to clarify something about the config.lisp file you add:
if I try to compile eclipse after applying your diff I got the 
followings warnings. I know they are not a problem considering that the 
undefined variables will be defined during the lisp image dumping, or 
during the starting process with load-eclipse.

The question is: why didn't you add this file in the eclipse-system 
defined in system.lisp ? That way, we shouldn't have compilation 
warnings, and load-eclipse should not anymore have to load that file 
explicitly.
I presume I missed something ?
