i'm loading the metacopy files twice (and generate two fasl's for each lisp
file). once using defmethod's, and once uing define-layered-method's that
are incompatible and imply a slightly different performance overhead, so i
load them in two different packages, and the users can chose. all this is
managed by metacopy.asd. if you are really interested in the details, please
take a look at the attached file and consider the inpackage forms
(in-package #.(metacopy-system:metacopy-package)). but i think we are
starting to spend more time on this then useful.

i tought that converting a defun in asdf into a defmethod will not bring up
any issues, just make asdf more flexible and also simplifies the metacopy
.asd file (at least in the possibly limited context of my understanding of
asdf), therefore i've sent this patch. but if it does bring issues then
never mind, i'll find another way because it would take quite some time for
this asdf change to reach the end users anyway...
