+1. If you want an easy way to grab the latest versions of my  
libraries (some of which grew out of PCL) you can get them at:

   <http://www/www.gigamonkeys.com/lisp/monkeylib-0.3.204.tar.gz>
   <http://www/www.gigamonkeys.com/lisp/twas-0.1.165.tar.gz>

(Monkeylib now depends on Twas--one of these days, I'll merge them if  
this project doesn't make them both superfluous.)

Also, I'd be happy to start including this set of libraries in  
Lispbox, which should make Lispbox more useful and lower the barrier  
to getting started for new Lispers.
