My understanding is that :static-file components are used to specify any
non-lisp file dependencies of the system.  The lisp parts of the unit
tests should use :file declarations.

I have used them for things like, css, graphics, test fixtures,
templates etc, pretty much any file that I know the system depends on,
that aren't common lisp files.
