What about a ASDF_PATH, or better, a COMMON_LISP_PATH ? Hopefully the latter, with a semantics that can be shared between ASDF and XCVB, and that allows recursion through directories instead of or in addition to having everything in one directory with symlinks.
Such behaviour should be introduced by a custom system-definition search function, possibly bundled with ASDF as a contrib. I feel somewhat queasy about ASDF-BINARY-LOCATION having been merged into ASDF itself. I think, it might have been a good opportunity to think of a contrib system for ASDF.
