[Ecls-list] calling ECL functions defined in an ASDF package from C code

Well, of course it would be fine if that dependency tracking could be done in ECL ... so
that having
    (c:build...  (:include-modules '(alexandria cl-ppcre)))
would automatically include all needed .o files.

(For simplicity I'd say that the given dependencies need to be loaded in the compiling
ECL, so that it can simply use a list that was built upon loading them).

Then it wouldn't really matter where they are, and neither if ql was used or not ...
