Something for the weekend: new CLiki software imminent

It was brought to my attention that the latest released version of
CLiki doesn't work in current SBCL, and also that the instructions are
out of date w.r.t the current Araneida.  So, a new version which
appears to fix both these problems is imminent (as in, probably about
Monday).

There's also a ton of other changes, which is why I'm preannouncing
it.  Anyone who wants to play with collaborative content editing this
weekend is invited to check it out from CVS: instructions at
<URL:http://cvs.telent.net/>.  There's a new example.lisp file which
should get you up and running with minimum effort: I'm pretty sure
CLiki gets easier to install with every new version.

Bug reports, suggestions, queries welcome.  From the NEWS file -

New in CLiki 0.4.1

* Update README file to correspond to Araneida 0.81, and add
  example.lisp demonstrating a simple CLiki installation

* Change CLIKI-INSTANCE class graph.  Now we have CLIKI-VIEW as a parent
  of CLIKI-INSTANCE.  The approximate division is that CLIKI-VIEW deals
  with the visual aspects and CLIKI-INSTANCE deals with updating and
  saving data

* CLIKI-SKIN is a new CLIKI-VIEW subclass demonstrating a way to make
  a second look and feel for an existing cliki.

* New CLIKI-PAGE-SURROUND method replaces CLIKI-PAGE-HEADER and
  CLIKI-PAGE-FOOTER.  WITH-PAGE-SURROUND macro allows any response
  handler to reasonably conveniently use the standard surround for
  some cliki it's associated with

* New class AUTHED-CLIKI does cookie-based authentication for clikis that 
  you don't want just anyone to edit.  Badly, though.  Feel free to send
  patches

* At last, proper escaping of page pathnames.  Page titles may now contain
  interesting characters like #\#, #\., #\+ etc

  If you have any pages stored in files with even mildly interesting 
  names, they will change: what was "Foo Bar" is now "Foo=20Bar", for
  example.  The old names are still read, and updated to new names on
  SAVE-PAGE (i.e. after edits)

* #\Space and #\_ are treated as equivalent in page names, just as #\A
  and #\a are.

* SAVE-PAGE is now a GF specialkised on CLIKI-VIEW.  Might be usable
  for e.g. database-backed clikis.

* Bug fix: admin/recent-changes.dat is created if not found

* Some HTML cleanup
