No idea how involved that is.
In case anyone has some time: not desperately involved, but would take some work. There are two main pieces of work, if I remember right from the last time I looked at this: coming up with a nice enough lisp API for the protocol requests that should be exposed to client code, and (harder) hooking in the "right thing" behaviour for things that should "just work" without changing client code. This latter is harder mostly because clx as it currently stands doesn't have a desperately good way of dealing with extensions that need to modify the behaviour of the normal functions. It shouldn't be too hard, though; if anyone's interested, let me know and I'll try to help.
