I dunno... this would be a solution for my specific problem at this moment,
but this seems to me to be a general problem that could be solved with a
general solution... what if we added another option to defsystem's
:components initarg that was a hook into cl:require?

so that way ppl can

(defsystem :foo
   :components
   ((:module "m1"
     :depends-on ("n2" #-allegro :cl-ppcre)
     :requires (#+allegro "regexp2))
    ...

?

or maybe it would be better to call it :require-unportable-module or
something since cl:require is `depricated'...

would cause ASDF to issue the require command. If you're at all

thanks for the offer :-)
