Dear Zach,

I hope you're having fun in Amsterdam or wherever you are.

Are there any obstacles to getting cl-launch, xcvb and exscribe in quicklisp?

git://common-lisp.net/projects/xcvb/cl-launch.git
git://common-lisp.net/projects/xcvb/xcvb.git
git://common-lisp.net/users/frideau/exscribe.git

I remember you wanted the cl-launch.asd already expanded from cl-launch.sh,
and I preferred not to commit an extracted file to my git repository.
Does it work for you to grab the tarball I regularly update at
http://common-lisp.net/project/xcvb/cl-launch/cl-launch.tar.gz
and extract code from it?
I believe some existing packages in quicklisp are from tarballs,
so you must possess this capability already.

As for XCVB and exscribe, they can be loaded from ASDF and used
at the REPL indeed. I do it a lot while debugging,
though when not debugging, I usually prefer to build an executable from them
and use them from the shell command line, starting a fresh process
each time for a more deterministic result.

Thanks a lot for all your free software coding!
