[asdf-devel] I think new ASDF has busted asdf-binary-locations

[james anderson]

hello;

i recall, that we have started down this path before, but we never  
got very far, so i would like to pick up the thread again:

what exactly fails (or is just inconsistent) in the respective  
logical pathname implementations to preclude accomplishing the same  
thing with logical pathnames?
whatever that may be, why is it better to re-implement the  
functionality for asdf rather than to fix the problem?
