Patch to work with ABCL

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I needed to patch CL-SVG from Quicklisp with the attached patch to get it to 
render with ABCL.

The problem stems from ABCL's pretty printer stream, which is apparently not 
equivalent to CL:STREAM in all cases.  

I consider this patch to be a hack which destroys the beauty of the cl-svg 
source code, which needs to be fixed in ABCL as [ticket-223][].

The patch has been updated as https://github.com/wmannis/cl-svg/pull/11/commits/fc0df427e6791eeb279d10234057180daddbfe9d as part of https://github.com/wmannis/cl-svg/pull/11

ABCL has not completely sorted out its schizophrenic relation to streams and there is no firm timeline on when this will be resolved, so I would currently recommend merging the above pull request at all possible in order to get cl-svg at least working under ABCL in Quicklisp.

Even though I characterized this patch as a "hack" in 2014, this code was used in production for QR codes for a medical document management system for over five years without issues, so it doesn't empirically harm anything.
