[asdf-devel] Changes to ASDF for LW6

[David McClain]

I beg to differ... I simply loaded ASDF into the boot-up configuration of LW, which happens to be in package LW-USER. There is no overt (:USE :LISPWORKS) anywhere in sight, and certainly not in the ASDF source code. 

So the fact is, I already have :LISPWORKS in use, and I have no choice about the matter during initial bootup.
