[iolib-devel] pathnames in asdf:defsystem are NOT evaluated.

[Pascal J. Bourguignon]

Loading iolib in ECL signals the following error.   ECL has ASDF2, and
this does not evaluate pathnames in DEFSYSTEM forms.


Error while trying to load definition for system iolib from
pathname LISP:SITE-SYSTEMS;IOLIB.ASD.NEWEST:
In function PATHNAME, the value of the only argument is
  (MERGE-PATHNAMES
   (MAKE-PATHNAME :DIRECTORY '(:RELATIVE "iolib"))
   *LOAD-TRUENAME*)
which is not of the expected type (OR FILE-STREAM
                                      STRING
                                      PATHNAME)
   [Condition of type ASDF:LOAD-SYSTEM-DEFINITION-ERROR]
