I do not have the time to check this thoroughly right now, but I
recall having suggested that ASDF shouldn't impose any constraints on
version "numbers", but rather defer version comparison to libraries
when they use a version numbering scheme that ASDF doesn't understand.
This can be done by providing generic functions like version-> etc.,
and letting people provide methods on them.
There may even be an issue and a patch lurking around somewhere.
Again, sorry for being fuzzy, this is just from the top of my head.
