I apologize if this is both obvious and irrelevant, but your question 
reminds me of why I like using ASDF as a system definition facility: it 
loads modules as needed, recompiling them first if necessary, and is 
CLOS-extensible.  I have to admit, I don't know much about Allegro's system 
definition framework; is what it does different?
