Install guide for SBCL, Emacs, and SLIME on Windows XP

In the spirit of good documentation, I wrote a new version of my CLisp/
Emacs/SLIME install guide to include SBCL setup[2]. The biggest catch
I found was that on Windows XP, system environment variables aren't
updated until after a reboot. Other than that, it was extremely easy
to swap out CLisp for SBCL. If you already ran through my CLisp
guide[1], then you can have SBCL running in about 3 minutes (+ reboot
time). Please let me know how it goes and if there are any errors.

I appreciate any feedback - let me know what else it could use!

Thanks,
Peter
