Okay, I'll try to contact him on that.

It looks to me that it is possible to extend CLush to accommodate java via
the gcc java functionality in gcj. This should enable the use of java libraries
(.class or .jar).

On another note, I have come across an implementation of hierarchical packaging
for CL like what is used in java. 

What about something similar in Lush?

Maybe wrapping libload in some way so that it can provide something more like java/python
for those who want it:

(import lush.standard.compat) -> (libload "compat.lsh")

(import lush.packages.alsa) -> (libload "alsa")

(import net.sf.lush.ogre.helptool) -> (libload "libogre/helptool.lsh")
