What is needed for any kind of standalone system building that relies on
ASDF system definitions and is capable of incorporating all dependencies?

- A way to gather the list of files that form part of that system
(gather-components in asdf-ext.lisp)
- A way to compile the components (provided by asdf.lisp and extended by
asdf-{ecl,sbcl,...}.lisp if needed)
- A way to pack all the compiled files into a single output file
(implementation-dependent and thus in asdf-{ecl,sbcl...}).

The first part is very critical and it needs the expertise of ALL of ASDF
maintainers to get it right. As a bonus the result will be applicable to ALL
functions that kind of grovel through ASDF system definitions.
