[asdf-devel] File type problem with the latest ASDF

A number of projects fail to build with the latest ASDF from git. A few
of them seem to be related to defining a custom file component class
that has a custom file type. For example, see jwacs and portable aserve:

  http://report.quicklisp.org/jwacs/2012-12-19/failtail.txt

  http://report.quicklisp.org/portableaserve/2012-12-19/failtail.txt

For jwacs, the file component has a type of "js", and for
portableaserve, it has a type of "cl", but it seems like ASDF is looking
for different file names.

FSet also fails with this error:

    Error while trying to load definition for system fset from pathname
    /[...elided...]/fset-20121219-svn/fset.asd:

       Invalid initialization argument:
         :PARENT
       in call for class #<STANDARD-CLASS SYSTEM>.
