I had problems with asdf:*asdf-revision* becoming asdf::*asdf-version* and 
losing its external blessing in favor of asdf:asdf-version; and 
asdf:implementation-specific-directory-name became the internal 
asdf::implementation-identifier.

However, this A-B-L emulation seems to work as desired.

P.S.  SBCL doesn't like the way asdf is compiled these days.
