i think i would prefer a cl-postgres+iolib.asd. but then that leads to
the question how to handle the situation of using babel for string
encoding... that quickly leads to an exponential blow up.

maybe iolib.asd itself pushing :iolib into *features* and
conditionalizing the :depends-on on #+iolib?

i really don't have a clean idea on how to do it, that's why i was
quiet about the merge of this patch into cl-postgres proper. meanwhile
i hope that darcs pull will keep my life simple because the divergence
is small...

this situation again makes me think that asdf is plain wrong and a
goddamn defun based interface would be much more flexible. then it'd
be a matter of another &key arg...
