Re: Q:Xit and usage of make-socket-stream

[haible (Bruno Haible)]

Mr Tomohiro Shibata has problems when compiling CLUE:

> ; Compiling intrinsics.lsp
> Compiling file /home/monoceros/tshibata/Softs/clisp/packages/clue+clio+xit/clue/intrinsics.lsp ...
> *** - FIND-CLASS: WINDOW does not name a class

Mr Jan Deleeuw had the same problem. It may come from the buggy top-level
form handling in CLISP versions older than 1993-09-27. Please try getting
that newest CLISP version.

Note also that you should be able to use CLISP's native CLOS instead of PCL
when building CLX for CLUE. The resulting memory image will be much smaller.

It is the low-level function for building the connection to the X server.
See clx/dependent.lsp for its usage.
