Greetings!  OK I'm committing some fixes.  A few comments.

The restarts business was more involved.  HANDLER-CASE produced code
which jumped outside of the *restart-clusters* binding.  Most of this
commit is an enabling of package-error and continuable error
processing in the conditions system.  It would be great if someone
could look over my patch to handler.lisp.  While it should clearly
work, its probably not the most elegant, nor necessarily complete. 

compute-restarts now takes an optional argument, but it does nothing as
yet, as there is no 'slot' in the restart for the condition.  It would
appear this could be added pretty easily.  I've therefore left the
task active on the website.

I've committed your fix here.  Thanks!

The other package errors remain.  I'll try to get to some more
tomorrow.

I now get:

123 out of 4365 total tests failed:

Take care,
