[Gardeners] A batteries package for Common Lisp?

One of the catch phrases of Python is that it comes with "batteries
included".  About the last thing that a standard Common Lisp
implementation can be accused of is that it comes with all the
trimmings.  There are certainly plenty of really nice libraries out
there, but not in the same organised way as Python.

I propose that we clone this page http://docs.python.org/lib/lib.html,
and emulate as much as possible.
The CL-Batteries should be installable from ASDF-install.  It should
have good documentation (again, look to the Python example), and
should be portable across as many implementations as possible - though
I suggest we choose an implementation to work to first.

Thoughts?

Cheers
Brad
