FFI is an optional clisp feature. Thus I propose adding it to CFFI's list of dependencies.

• :depends-on (alexandria trivial-features babel #+clisp ffi) :components ((:module src :serial t

This allows ASDF users to autodetect that CFFI can't load, instead of waiting for the failure at compile time.

have you actually tried to do this and managed to load CFFI ? on my computer I get a "component #:FFI not found, required by #<SYSTEM "cffi" #x2060D7B6>"
