New Slime mode: fully thread-safe!

[polos]

I've just added a new and very convenient Slime mode, see:

  "eql/slime/thread-safe.lisp" ; source
  "eql/doc/Slime.htm"          ; new docu

This mode doesn't need a REPL eval hook, and allows thread-safe calls of all EQL functions, both on the Slime REPL and with 'eval region'.
(It works wrapping all GUI related internal functions in macro QRUN*).

The only drawbacks are more consing and a relatively small performance overhead, which should be neglectable in practice.

P.S: The old "REPL hook" mode is still available, see "eql/doc/Slime-REPL-Hook.htm".

...since this Slime integration seems to work really well and fast and eliminates all hassle about GUI thread and similar, I made a short description of how it works, with some code snippets.

If you're interested, you find it in the sources ("doc/"):
