That's reasonable feature to add. But, I think should a feature would
need to be supported on all platforms, not just clisp. Features that
exist on only some of supported CLSQL lisp implementations go against
my philosophy for the project: that all features need to work
correctly on all supported platforms.

Rather than giving the .asd file knowledge of how to query
environmental functions, I'd make a uffi:getenv function that is
supported on all uffi platforms and have clsql.asd use that.
