All of this should be handled with the [ASDF-JAR contrib][], but when I went to test, it seems [that the basic functionality of packaging is now broken on trunk][376].

I thought I remembered that there were problems with loading FASLs with jar files, but the docstrings seem to indicate that it would work.

In any case, I will try to figure out how to address [376][] on trunk as I have time.
