[slimpl] Hello list, and an idea about asynchronous events

[Brad Beveridge]

Now that is pretty cool!  It's good to see that we have a couple of
different ways to potentially tackle this problem.  Personally, I'm
going to keep plugging away at the Netbeans road until someone else
releases code that is easy to contribute to.  I'm not doing this to be
contrary - I just think it is better to:
a) Do something
b) Have multiple approaches this early in the project

Anyhow, my basic netbeans code sort works, I have a Lisp NetBeans
server that connects to Vim & Vim can send forms to lisp for
evaluation.  I'll get it cleaned up and packaged, then send it out.

Cheers
Brad
