  |I recall this from some work I did porting defsystem.lisp to other 
  |platforms.
  |As I now look at the sources, it does, indeed, appear to be a 
  |problem with
  |the defsystem code.  One quick fix to try would be to push the 
  |:cmu17 feature
  |*features* and see if that fixes things:
  |
  |     (push :cmu17 *features*)
 
That does not appear to be enough to fix the version of mkdefsystem
shipped with cl-http (or that shipped with debians version 2.4.19 of
their cmucl). I did try to understand what was changed in 18d - but
did not spend too much time once I didnt understand. pathname-host
seems to be one issue.

I was also hoping the maintainers of defsystem could ship a single
file called defsystem.lisp instead of a whole package - as in previous
versions.

I was also wondering if the latest release of defsystem was available
for download at any other site other than sourceforge. I would
appreciate it if it could be made available elsewhere.
