No, not really. I'm just getting old and repeating myself. :-)

Actually it is there already:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/kawa-commonlisp-dev/2012-08/msg00055.html

If that seems like it would be quick then yes, otherwise the older  
all.patch
can serve the purpose.

How about a checklist showing what's been checked in already and what  
remains?
Something like:

[•] ...
[•] functionality mods to let.java to support FLET
[•] FLET form
[•] FUNCALL
[•] DECLARE
[-] moving type mapping from Scheme.java to LispLanguage.java
[ ] ...


Also, any final thoughts you'd like to consolidate into one message for
posterity? Were there bits you found easier than you expected? Harder?
Anything you would've done differently a second time? Advice for a
newcomer who wants to start hacking on Kawa?

Most importantly, did you have fun?
