The short story is that ASDF allows GCL to run a wealth of existing
common lisp libraries.
At this point (using debian), I could only make it to work on GCL 2.7,
and 2.6.8 would have to be much improved to run it at all.

Also, one of the major features of ASDF2 is that hot code upgrade of
ASDF ought to be possible. Unhappily, GCL is the only implementation
where I failed to achieve this capability. Help would be very much
appreciated, whenever you have more time.
