I just released an XCVB 0.603 that actually works with ASDF 3
(previously, I had only fixed XCVB to compile with it). It I had to
patch some previous untested parts of ASDF, so it requires 3.0.1.7.

Inferior-shell *should* be able to compile with ASDF 2.
If not, it's a bug. Meh: not as easy for me to test as I'd like.

XCVB, exscribe, will probably not be missed by anyone.

The big missing library that depends on ASDF 3 will probably be iolib.

Hopefully, SBCL updates its ASDF soon, and Quicklisp soon thereafter.
It certainly took some time, but the issues have been mostly kinked out.
