Re: anybody using RCS for lisp development?
[Note that defsystems and version control are two topics that have the
potential for generating a large amount of discussion. This is fine, but
the CLIM mailing list probably isn't the place for it. However there
doesn't seem anything wrong with a tangent of a handful of messages]

We're using CVS, a freely available higher level set of version control
tools that sits on top of RCS. I'd recommend it highly. You can find it
on think.com.

Our build process first checks the latest versions of the systems out of
CVS/RCS, and then Lisp compilation is a second step. We haven't needed the
ability to combine the two into one step.

CVS provides an implementation of 'modules'. These are analogous to
defsystem 'systems'. If you try to combine CVS and Defsystem, combining
modules and systems would probably make sense.
