Thanks a lot for your feedback. I repackaged cl-launch. Now the debian
package doesn't depend on c-l-c but only suggests it. I also made it
asdf-installable.

Please tell me if that solves your issues.

Note that I am actively working on philip-jose, and hope to complete
the farmer within two weeks and make a real release then. It now uses
arnesi's call-cc and that's a lot of fun.

iolib is used in the .asd file (:iolib :io.multiplex :net.dns-client)
and the packages file (:net.sockets :iomux). Example uses are in
tcp-server and tcp-client.

Example use:
(simple-client (list #xf00 :bar) "localhost" 7)
It requires the TCP echo service to be enabled in your inetd.

I hope this helps.
