A clarification:  CLUE is a Common Lisp (with CLOS) version of Xt,
the X Toolkit Intrinsics.  It provides "contact" objects which are
analogs to Xt's "widgets" for building toolkits.  It uses CLX as its
"xlib" (low level interface).

Also, another remark on XCL: it was primarily an early Lisp interface
to the C Xlib library.  CLX on the other hand is a native Common Lisp
"xlib", and part of the MIT "core" distribution.  CLX is the one to use.
