I think that ASDF may need some loving to work in ECL; otherwise, it should be good.
ECL runs its own copy basically because the current ASDF project did not exist at the time -- we just ported SBCL's version. Now, ECL has its own extensions to ASDF, which are needed to build: standalone executables, unified FASLs (merging the different FASLs from the same project), shared and statically linked libraries, etc http://ecls.sourceforge.net/new-manual/ch16.html It would be desirable to replace the core of the ASDF library that we are now using with the project that Gary maintains, and then find a canonical way of writing our extensions, so that they are fool- and future-proof.
