*** with-timeout provides an easy way to do something but give<BR>
up if too much time passes.

  (with-timeout (SECONDS TIMEOUT-FORMS...) BODY...)
<P>
This executes BODY, but gives up after SECONDS seconds.
If it gives up, it runs the TIMEOUT-FORMS and returns the value
of the last one of them.  Normally it returns the value of the last
form in BODY.
