If you are interested, I have been working on a template project to let me create a REPL that comes preloaded with whatever JARs and AOT- compiled Clojure I want. Be warned - it's Maven! :-) and the REPL script is a BAT file for Windows - I haven't done anything with Unix yet. Wouldn't be hard to add though.
http://code.google.com/p/sandflea/source/browse/#svn/clojure-remix/trunk/clojure-remix-pom And there is a sample project at: http://code.google.com/p/sandflea/source/browse/clojure-remix/trunk/clojure-remix-sample/pom.xml Managing JARs by hand seems easy, until you give the code to someone else, or revisit it 10 years later when you've forgotten most of what you were doing.
