When you say this, you mean, I assume, that if we don't have any config
files (and configure ASDF through our lisp init files), everything will
work as before.

If the code works for people, I'd be willing to see about updating the
manual.

I'm afraid this code is not good for me to test --- ASDF has moved from
what is distributed with ACL in such a way that I can no longer run the
bleeding edge (the incompatibilities with my coworkers are too grave).

So I will wait for the early adopters to vet this.

Best,
