Hi, CFFI and others

As I know, Debian's common-lisp-controller (CLC) is very good as a  
ASDF addition, CLC let each Linux user could compile lisp source code  
from a common place (/usr/share/common-lisp/source) and put the fasl  
files in user-specific position. Ubuntu just copy this facility from  
Debian, but seems not maintained well. (I thought Greg is on ubuntu  
but debian)

The only problem is that Debian's CL packages are usually a little  
old. To resolve this issue, I just use SBCL's ASDF-INSTALL package to  
install new packages into #p"~/.clc/site" to get the newest version  
from Cliki link, than other CLs (CMUCL, CLISP, ECL, even GCL) could  
use these fresh packages.
