Do people want something like that? Dear, yes! For example, Zach Beane&#39;s<br>
buildapp found great resonance:<br>

Is your stuff the essentials to have something like that be part of<br>
ASDF? If so, could you shortly write up a kind of roadmap?<br></blockquote></div><br>What is needed for any kind of standalone system building that relies on ASDF system definitions and is capable of incorporating all dependencies?<br>
<br>- A way to gather the list of files that form part of that system (gather-components in asdf-ext.lisp)<br>- A way to compile the components (provided by asdf.lisp and extended by asdf-{ecl,sbcl,...}.lisp if needed)<br>
- A way to pack all the compiled files into a single output file (implementation-dependent and thus in asdf-{ecl,sbcl...}).<br><br>The first part is very critical and it needs the expertise of ALL of ASDF maintainers to get it right. As a bonus the result will be applicable to ALL functions that kind of grovel through ASDF system definitions.<br>
