I haven't looked at cl-launch in a while, but remember it looking promising. Thanks.

I also looked briefly into ASDF2 but can't remember recognizing any advantages to moving to it from ASDF. I am sure the advantages are there though. What am I missing?

For making images, there is
* Xach's buildapp, which is great but sbcl-only
* my own cl-launch, which is portable, and can be complemented with my
command-line-argument library, or Didier Verna's CLON (ported only to
a few platforms).

Both rely on ASDF2, which any modern implementation should provide,
and/or that you can get by yourself.
