Indeed, eventually one should move my GNUmakefile line from using sed to
using some Lisp implementation for repackaging asdf.lisp, ensuring a version
number, etc.

Incidentally, I am still amazed at how people here find a 4k source file
manageable at all. No organization, functions spread throught the file, no
clear navigation structure... If I have a directory with 10 small files,
each one devoted to a separate and clear task, I know where I have to go to
edit things for that particular topic.
