Done :)

I'll try to be frank again.  Absolutely no blame intended for anybody,
really.  Real life does take its toll.

But the past year made me utterly skeptical on the possibility of
completing such projects.  The latest batteries-package-like project
was STDUTIL:

  http://common-lisp.net/project/stdutil/

Despite the date at the bottom right of the page, I seem to remember
that it was started just a few months ago.  But there's not much
beyond a few mailing lists with an automated nag:

  http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/stdutil-devel/2006-June/date.html

Yours is an excellent idea, but I'm afraid ideas are not enough.  It
takes a lot of "blood, sweat and code" to even start a project.
