i'm not really sure why, but asdf wants to compile before loading even 
though it's called load and there already is a compile operation. i'll 
ask the asdf gods and see what the reasoning is behind this decision.

in the mean time: yes that is quite possible and is probably easier. 
patch forthcoming. but, why is the dependency on :sb-bsd-sockets in the 
asdf file and not in the loader file? is it really required or not?
