GetWindowEventTarget was returning a NULL pointer causing 
InstallEventHandler to return paramErr.

(#_GetWindowEventTarget (ccl::%get-ptr *main-window*) turns out to be 
the correct incantation.  I don't know if I need to be using %GET-PTR 
for the user data parameter or not.

My app now gets killed when the callback is called, or so it appears.  
I'm really not sure how to debug that.  I figured out the last problem 
by using SETF, isolating bits of code, and using slime-connect to see 
what the return values were.  Tedious.  That option doesn't seem to be 
available for the callback dying.
