I have my SBCL_HOME pointing to a symlink.  As a result, because ASDF
chases symlinks, the SBCL-specific rule doesn't work with contribs in my
environment.

I work around this by chasing symlinks for all sources in
*source-to-target-mappings*.  This has worked well for me for a while; I
include it now as a Darcs patch.

 * follow symlinks in source path prefixes of *source-to-target-mappings*

New patches:

[follow symlinks in source path prefixes of *source-to-target-mappings*
Stephen Compall <scompall@nocandysw.com>**20080910150113] {
hunk ./dev/main.lisp 146
+(defun source-to-target-resolved-mappings ()
+  "Answer `*source-to-target-mappings*' with additional entries made
+by resolving sources that are symlinks.
+
+As ASDF sometimes resolves symlinks to compute source paths, we must
+follow that.  For example, if SBCL is installed under a symlink, and
+SBCL_HOME is set through that symlink, the default rule above
+preventing SBCL contribs from being mapped elsewhere will not be
+applied by the plain `*source-to-target-mappings*'."
+  (loop for mapping in asdf:*source-to-target-mappings*
+ for (source target) = mapping
+ for true-source = (and source (resolve-symlinks source))
+ if (equal source true-source)
+  collect mapping
+ else append (list mapping (list true-source target))))
+
hunk ./dev/main.lisp 166
-   source possible-paths *source-to-target-mappings*))
+   source possible-paths (source-to-target-resolved-mappings)))

[LOAD-ONLY-FILE-MIXIN fix for ECL
Luis Oliveira <loliveira@common-lisp.net>**20080604040541

ECL's flavour of ASDF defines an :after method on PERFORM LOAD-OP
that expects previous compilation so we use an :around method to
avoid that.

I write stuff at http://failex.blogspot.com/ now.  But the post
formatter and themes are terrible for sharing code, the primary
content, so it might go away sooner or later.
