Quicklisp is great, but there's no (documented) way of creating your own dists:

"You will be able to make your own private repositories of Quicklisp
software (called dists), but it's not documented right now."

Given that Quicklisp is curated, it doesn't seem like a great place to
put (likely experimental) StumpWM add-ins.

Taking the 'wishful thinking' approach, what I want to be able to do
is put something like the following at the start of my .stumpwmrc:

(load-module "stump-monitors"
"git://github.com/duncan-bayne/stump-monitors.git")

... and have that Just Work (TM) as you'd expect.
