You can symlink your .asd file multiple times under all the names you  
wish it to be found.  (asdf does not try to parse each and every .asd  
file it finds when it goes looking for a system that is not known  
yet. Once the defsystem form for your system2 has been evaluated,  
there's no need to look for a .asd file again.)

For your example, I'd recommend symlinks
~/asdf-registry/myapp-system.asd ==> ~/src/myapp-system.asd
~/asdf-registry/system1.asd ==> ~/src/myapp-system.asd
etc.
