Re: proposed asdf-install patch

Hi Robert,

After looking at your patch in greater detail, it seems that it is  
actually not necessary for the current portable version (with one  
caveat which I'll get to in a moment). Did you use the latest version  
of ASDF-Install ("0.6.13")?

The caveat is that CL-YACC on the CLiki actually points to a system  
named YACC. So the transcript I get from ASDF-Install is:

I suppose a restart like: "Treat yacc.asd as cl-yacc and install it"  
would be a good thing...

I'd like to understand why your milage varied.

thanks,
