[slimpl] some comments about vim internals

[Brad Beveridge]

Ok, so I've been busy converting Slime.el -> ooze.lisp.
It is dead easy, though how well it works I have no idea yet.  I have
written code that can connect to a running Swank server (just as Slime
does it), the only "new" code that I've needed to write so far has
been socket-connect, because Swank only has code to act as a socket
server, not a socket client.  I used SBCL's sb-bsd-sockets module for
this.
I'm out for the rest of the day, but thought others may be interested
in how the code shapes up if you translate slime.el -> common lisp. 
It shapes up really really well.  I have just started on porting
slime-dispatch-event, one of the most basic communication blocks. 
Once that is done the rest of slime should build easily on it.
I am building within the slime directory against CVS, that way I get
to easily use the Swank backend stuff.
I run swank and ooze in the same image, start swank first with
(require :swank)
(swank:create-swank-server PORT) => ACTUAL-PORT

and then ooze:
(require :ooze)
(ooze::connect "127.0.0.1" PORT)

Comments and feedback are much appreciated.

Cheers
Brad
