Adding Patches to RMCL 5.2

I have added a Patches folder to the MCL repository. That way fixes  
can be uploaded initially as files rather than require immediate  
changes to the MCL sources.

There are instructions on the MCL wiki about how to add a patch to  
the repository:

   http://code.google.com/p/mcl/wiki/AddPatch

There is a new patch that facilitates patching optional MCL modules:

    http://code.google.com/p/mcl/source/browse/Patches/~define- 
patches.lisp

This file is the first to load when doing load-all-patches. It makes  
it possible to defer the loading of a patch until after an optional  
module has been loaded. For a case example, see:

    http://code.google.com/p/mcl/source/browse/Patches/stream-clear- 
output-patch.lisp

This patch is deferred to be loaded after the IO-BUFFER module, which  
usually is loaded as a result of loading the OPENTRANSPORT module.  
You can use the same technique to patch other optional modules.
