Thanks :)
I am afraid that development work on Slim-Vim has more or less
stopped.  The main reason is that although Vim is a great editor,
internally it is structured pretty badly, and is not designed to be
used the way that Slim-Vim wanted to use it.
The good news is that I am currently working on a Vim-like editor,
written in Common Lisp and designed to edit Lisp code and integrate
with Swank.  Right now it is not ready for public consumption, but I
am looking for a couple of people to help me out if you would like.
I'll be integrating the existing Slim-vim work into my editor (Vial)
soon.
If you would like to try and fix Slim-Vim, I'll be happy to give
advice where I can.

This is a bit of a holdover from needing to use ECL repl I think.
This should be the place where the Lisp that is built into Vim directs
its *STANDARD-OUTPUT*
