Trying again:
Can someone please state what it is that Quicklisp needs?
Quicklisp needs some way to determine all the direct dependencies required to load a system and its definition. It currently does this by direct inspection of the defsystem form (with a *macroexpand-hook*) *and* by registering an :around method for asdf:operate to catch any direct calls to asdf:load-system.

P.S. if we can work out some way of integrating the inspection into ASDF, I'd be happy to do that. That way we could put a test for it in the ASDF test suite, and would know if we were borking QL by ASDF changes going forward.
