Hello

I am a beginner when it comes to writing macros, so there may be an easy 
way to do this.
I have a number of 'state machines' which have this sort of appearance:

(defn startFSM [eventQ]
  (let [state (atom :1)
         going (atom true)
         timerId (atom -1)
         startTimer (fn [] ....)
         stopTimer (fn [] ...)]
   (inThread
     (while @going
       (let [ev (.take eventQ)]
       (condp = @state
         :1 (....)
         :2 (...)
         etc...))))))

where inThread runs its body in a thread, and the timer functions deal with 
timers. So, when (startFSM aQ) is called, the thread runs and processes 
events arriving on aQ.

My question is, how to write a macro, fsmWithTimers, that could be used 
like this:

(fsmWithTimers
   (condp = @state
         :1 (....)
         :2 (...)
         etc...))

which would resolve into the form shown above, so that the items mentioned 
in the outer let are usable (via the names specified) within the body (in 
the example a condp form)?
