[asdf-devel] Q on compiling ASDF

Apparently the ASDF-binary-locations (now asdf-output-locations) code originated from Slime. In Slime, this code allowed a simple loader to put incompatible fasls in separate paths.

Now that ABL (AOL) is a standard part of ASDF, what is the proper way to bootstrap/write a (load (compile-file "asdf.lisp")) and have the fasls appear in implementation-specific directories?

I ask this in relation to Nick's problem on Lispworks. Though I suspect a few extra stack frames (close to the patch I reported for clisp) are to blame for his immediate problem, in principle it would be good to always load the compiled form.

Thanks, Daniel
