Thanks.  Please pull an update, and have a look. I replaced the local
copy with a git submodule.

It's ext/ everywhere at SIFT. I'm inclined to keep the shorter name,
unless there's some generally accepted practice to replace it with.

I changed by ASDF_DEVEL_SOURCE_REGISTRY to point to the local
submodules, and this seems to work adequately, but I don't have great tests.

I'll see if this gets me through a next bug fix, which will test my use
of the build scriptage. If so, I will merge the branch, and use it as a
basis for merging minimakefile.

Cheers,
