Hi John,

this looks very exciting. We could make a whole NEHE folder and add  
the user contributed versions. This could be a great starting point  
for OpenGL users. I need to play around with your code a bit. I does  
have references to macros not part of XMLisp, e.g., gl:with-gl and the  
constructor function called SLUI

I have this seen happing, but rarely. Gary B. is/was planning to have  
a peek at the threading of anticipatory completion. To make things a  
bit better increase the timeout time a bit.

keep these tutorials coming...
