progress on asdf-dependency-grovel

It loads perfectly for me:
sbcl --eval "'(#.(require :asdf) #.(in-package :asdf) #.(upgrade-asdf)
#.(load-system :asdf-dependency-grovel))" --quit
No error.

See if fine-grain-instrumented-load works with the expected
side-effects, emitting the suitable signal-user, signal-provider, and
other signal-* events.

At this point, you have to read the source code. I don't believe
anyone is left to help you. But if you have specific questions, I can
read the source code too and maybe remember more context. (NB: I
didn't write that code, but I oversaw an intern who used it, and
tweaked it a little bit to package it better.)

Again, good luck, and happy holidays!
