A newer snapshot of slime should be taken. And the last snapshot should be stabilised
I wonder if we should split off dev-lisp/swank as an own package, as suggested in bug 240327. Stelian, are you o.k. with slime-2.0_p20080731 being stbilised?
I think that _p20080731 could be stabilized, although it's stable only compared to how SLIME generally is, pretty much in flux. Splitting slime in dev-lisp/swank, app-emacs/slime and app-xemacs/slime is ok, keeping in mind that they must always be kept in sync

If the versions are really bound together, then we shouldn't split it without a real need. So I suggest that we postpone any decision until there is activity on the XEmacs side.
Stabilisation of slime-2.0_p20080731 is handled in bug 257082.
slime-2.0_p20101103 committed to portage tree. Thanks Stelian.
