This looks promising.  Thank you.

Questions:

* the feature testing done by :in-order-to ((... (feature ...)))
  doesn't support the composite feature expressions that read-time
  conditionals do.  Is this omission intended?

* the in-order-to notation looks like it applies only to direct
  instances of the operation classes named in the defsystem form, and
  not to instances of subclasses (example below [*]).  This seems like
  a bug; is it intended?

* is there any other way to specify that the component-pathname of a
  module is the same as that of its parent other than the defsystem
  syntax :pathname "."?  Does :pathname "." work the same way
  everywhere?

[*] If you subclass compile-op, the in-order-to processing is ignored
for instances of the subclass.
