Thanks back pchrist,

I'd like to work in moving common-lisp-3.eclass and some overlay packages
to the tree, but I am very busy right now. I've marked myself as devaway but I
think I can get some time to contribute on this. If someone wants to work in 
this, please, reply to this message.

Regards.
