[Logs-devel] added mainline.lisp

[Jim Prewett]

Hi all,

I've added mainline.lisp to the CVS repo.  The idea was to move the 
mainline type functions out to their own file so that when compiling LoGS, 
the compiler would have fewer undefined symbol warnings.

I'd like to (as much as is possible) have the file that defines a symbol 
loaded before a function in a different file that uses that symbol is 
loaded.  I believe this is mostly an aesthetic issue (I don't like my 
compiler complaining :) and shouldn't affect performance (I'm not exactly 
clear on when that sort of thing actually can affect performance :).

You'd be surprised at how hard I had to work to get this done (I had 
attempted many far less elegant solutions, none of which turned out to be 
a very good idea at all :).   Oh well! :)

all tests still pass and the compiler is a little quieter with the 
warnings now. :)

Jim
