Oh, sure, you might also need to override things like
asdf:operation-done-p, asdf:output-files, and so on.  But the answer
to finding that something doesn't work, whether because of your
overriding or because of asdf itself, is not to suggest a huge patch
with no explanation of why the documented way of working doesn't do
what you want; instead, I suggest you find out why the "whole stuff"
is "not working" (saying /how/ it's not working would be a good start;
see <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html> for some
inspiration on how to communicate this kind of information).

Since I have it to hand, I attach an asd file which might serve as
inspiration; if the :around methods, instead of binding a special,
dispatch on a special, then I believe you could get the effect you
want.  Alternatively, you could define new operation classes:
compile-with-contextl-op, compile-without-contextl-op, and new methods
to go with them.  (Since I don't know the details of what you're
doing, it's difficult to suggest anything more concrete.)

Cheers,

Christophe
