 * more flexible name translations
 FOREIGN-/LISP-NAME are now exported and take a package argument. This allows users to override the name translations on a package-by-package basis. EG,

 (defmethod cffi:lisp-name
              ((spec string) (package (eql (find-package :llvm))) &optional varp)
     "LLVMUpperCamelCase -> 'llvm:upper-camel-case"
     (intern (format nil (if varp "*~a*" "~a")
                     (translate-camelcase-name (subseq spec 4)
                                               :upper-initial-p t
                                               :special-words special-words))))

 The functions TRANSLATE-UNDERSCORE-SEPARATED-NAME and TRANSLATE-CAMELCASE-NAME have also been added and are exported. They cover common foreign name translations (TRANSLATE-UNDERSCORE-SEPARATED-NAME is the default, and you can see TRANSLATE-CAMELCASE-NAME in the example above).

The patch needs to be reviewed, tests and documentation need to be written. LISP-NAME is probably too generic a name to be exported from CFFI.
