'Naïve' indenting in the IDE

I think Corman Lisp is great, which is why I'm using it for my "killer 
app." However, I need some sort of Lisp editing solution that (a) allows 
interaction with the REPL, and (b) indents my Lisp source properly, where 
"properly" is defined as "how Emacs does it when told to use the 
common-lisp-indent-function." I've found syntax colouring pretty 
habit-forming, as well.

Given that I can't get XEmacs+ILISP to work with CCL (and I haven't seen 
any reports of anyone else getting it to work either), I'm currently saving 
my file in XEmacs and (load "...") it in Roger's IDE, and cutting and 
pasting bits of text back and forth, which is definitely not the Right Thing.

Seeing that others (i.e. Reini Urban) have hacked on this and apparently 
run out of steam, I'm somewhat loathe to get too embroiled in ILISP & Elisp 
myself, so I thought I would ask the list first:

- what do people currently use to edit their Lisp source when developing 
with/for Corman Lisp? If you use the IDE, does the lack of "proper" 
indenting etc. really bug you?

- has anyone managed to get (X)Emacs + ILISP + CCL working? If so, how? 
(Luke, how did you get on?)

- would anyone else really, really like Roger to add better indenting to 
the IDE?

Failing that, I'm considering trying to port ELI, after reading this: 
http://lemonodor.com/archives/000461.html#000461 (but I suspect it would 
mean porting the sb-aclrepl as well).

I don't mean to criticise ILISP or Mr. Urban or anything; I'm just trying 
to see what my options are here.

Cheers,

John :^P
