Hi all, I apologize for the 7 years delay to add this into the cl-pdf repository!
It's now committed and pushed into the official cl-pdf repository which is currently on github: https://github.com/mbattyani/cl-pdf BTW if you know about other stuff I forgot to add to cl-pdf/cl-typesetting please let me know.
