I would if it was straightforward (just an html change) but it seems I need to get clixdoc (which isn't quicklisp installable) figure out how to use that and change the xsl. I might work on the missing certificate validation though, at least for SBCL/CCL, since I need it. I'll try and do it with drakma first, and if it turns out to be too much trouble I'll look for something else. |
