I disabled defsystem and clx, and it is building fine now.

I understand defsystem is for managing package dependencies. How important is
it? Part of the standard lib or just contrib? Without defsystem, can I declare
victory on packaging ecl for nslu2?

Sorry for the newbie question since I'm really a newbie at Lisp, I just started
to read "Paradigm of AI Programming".

Thanks,
