This is a feature request, rather than a bugreport, since I know you don't claim support for Aquamacs.

Clojure-mode doesn't work with Aquamacs 2.4 (current). When I install clojure-mode 1.11.5 via marmalade, I get a problem

Compiling file /Users/norman/Library/Application Support/Aquamacs Emacs/elpa/clojure-mode-1.11.5/clojure-mode.el at Thu Jan 19 18:39:10 2012
clojure-mode.el:70:1:Warning: cl package required at runtime

In clojure-mode:
clojure-mode.el:194:34:Warning: reference to free variable `paredit-mode'
clojure-mode.el:194:51:Warning: reference to free variable `paredit-version'
....

I _think_ that clojure-mode 1.10 has worked with this version.

Points:
* Aquamacs is becoming the 'default' emacs on OS X. It's not literally the default, but it's becoming the standard answer to the question "I want to use emacs on OS X...", and when I see folk running emacs on OS X, it's usually Aquamacs. Google suggests there's quite a few people having this clojure-mode/Aquamacs problem.
* I don't keep track of the lineages of emacs, so I don't know if this is a big ask.
* The aquamacs developer -- see http://aquamacs.org/ -- is pretty responsive, and if there's something obvious missing from that version, it might be easy to get it included or adjusted as appropriate. If it'd be useful, I could make a feature request there matching this one.
