ECL runs its own copy basically because the current ASDF project did
not exist at the time -- we just ported SBCL's version. Now, ECL has
its own extensions to ASDF, which are needed to build: standalone
executables, unified FASLs (merging the different FASLs from the same
project), shared and statically linked libraries, etc
http://ecls.sourceforge.net/new-manual/ch16.html

It would be desirable to replace the core of the ASDF library that we
are now using with the project that Gary maintains, and then find a
canonical way of writing our extensions, so that they are fool- and
future-proof.
