cl-cairo2 *context* wart fixed

I pushed an updated version of cl-cairo2 to the repository today. The most important change is the fixing of a major design wart that was the result of a bad initial design choice. Originally, cl-cairo2 functions had an optional context argument as the last argument, which defaulted to *context*. This seemed to make sense at the time, it saved typing, but later on I realized it is very unLispy. So now context is the first argument, and is never optional, *context* is gone. I realize that this might break some code for people who are using cl-cairo2, and for this I apologize. But it had to be done sooner or later, I kept putting it off but finally could not bear it any more. Since I was using macros to generate most of the function definitions, effecting the change was a matter of minutes. I also cleaned up the documentation a bit.

cl-cairo2 migrated to github.com

I have migrated cl-cairo2 to github.com. If you want to install it, just clone from the repository:

git clone git://github.com/tpapp/cl-cairo2.git

You might have to create a symlink to the asd file in your ASDF systems directory. This is just a migration, no new code added. The package is no longer ASDF-installable. I have began to hate ASDF-install, it is more trouble than it is worth. For those who insist, it is possible to download a tar.gz file from Github, but the name of the link changes with updates, so I can't put one on cliki.net. Believe me, you are just better off pulling it from the git repository. Eventually, I plan to add support for Mudballs, but not soon.
