Sad but true.  I don't think we've had so much as a cvs commit in a
year.  Is there a project that we could merge with?  For example, we
use cl-sdl, perhaps GRT would be better off as an advanced example of
cl-sdl.  Merging with them _might_ strengthen interest in both
projects.

I'm also too busy in real life to work on GRT at all.

I had a crazy idea that maybe we should bump the version to 1.0 and
refer to it as GRT 1.0 Final, but I don't think that does anything
useful and it will just be confusing for future maintainers, if they
materialize.

Good luck, Peter.

I had fun hacking on GRT, even if I didn't do it often or a lot.
