Thanks very much for the continued work on lein; I usually do enjoy
it.

Up til now, I've avoided using ELPA (it doesn't play nicely with my 25
years' worth of Lisp-oriented emacs customizations). It may be helpful
for other hoary old lisp hackers to know that you really want to use
ELPA with lein, no matter how fervently you may believe that you
don't. I managed to evade ELPA up until this lein release, but it
seems the free ride is over.

ELPA still hamstrings and lobotomizes my Common Lisp environment, so,
instead of loading either it or my usual environment at Emacs startup,
I now load a pair of M-x commands, one for loading the familiar and
comfortable Common Lisp environment, and one for loading that other
thing, about which the less said, the better.

I'm mildly nauseated, but both Common Lisp and clojure+lein appear to
be working again.
