Ok, I'll add a first version next week when I've written some more tests for
it.

At the ILC2007 I've seen a nice library:

http://wiki.opendylan.org/wiki/view.dsp?title=DUIM

It's written in Dylan, but there is a Lisp port in progress. I've chatted
with the author in #lisp at freenode and he is still working on it. I don't
think that it needs another Lispbuilder package, because unlike the sockets
library and the SDL library, for which no good other solutions were
available, I hope we can just use the DUIM Lisp port, like suggested with
cl-opengl.

Yes, this would be nice. I think DUIM can use GTK on Linux and if SDL can be
used with GTK it should be possible.
