Dear CFFI developers,
do you think c-toolchain and static-link belong in CFFI, or in ASDF (or in a new system to be spawned)?
If you believe they belong in ASDF, I could try to move them there — but that means CFFI-grovel will have a dependency on a recent ASDF (or on that new system).
cffi-grovel is a good home for this new functionality, as it nicely complements the groveller's functionality for building helper libraries. Perhaps a separate system (even if it's included in the CFFI repo) would make sense too since the two functionalities are orthogonal, AFAICT.
I don't fully see the repercussions of extracting c-toolchain and static-link out off cffi-grovel. If it's easy and you think it's a good idea, then please go ahead. In any case, as I mentioned in the pull request, I think User Manual documentation and tests have higher priority at this point.
Cheers,
