[Openmcl-devel] Class redefinition demo

[Terje Norderhaug]

Thank you Gary and Ron for respectively creating the patch and  
providing the stripped down version. I'll start using it right away.

PS: I suggest we make a habit of using #+rmcl in patches to  
distinguish code for RMCL from code meant for PPC MCL. Or at least  
that it warns if used for the wrong LISP.
