Description : Common Lisp bindings to GTK+ v2.x
CLG is one binding to GTK+ for Common Lisp that works nicely and
seems to be actively maintained upstream. The bindings are
pretty lispy. CLOS is used as a wrapper around the various GTK classes,
so (make-instance 'window ...) is used to create a GTK window and so on.
My personal motivation to package this is that CL on Debian is
currently lacking an accessible GUI framework. McCLIM does most
of its drawing stuff directly and has no at-spi support, therefore
McCLIM GUIs are not accessible currently.
By using a GTK+ binding, we get accessibility for free since GTK+
already implements it for all standard widgets.
I am going to package a cvs snapshot because recent changes in
cvs bring back working SBCL support.
