ASDF 2
We recently released ASDF 2 (on May 31st 2010).
It will hopefully be bundled will all official releases
of Common Lisp implementations made after that date.
What it is
ASDF is a tool for describing how source files are organized:
what depends on which and when.
It is roughly what Common Lisp hackers use to build software
where C hackers would use say GNU Make.
ASDF stands for Another System Definition Facility,
in the continuity of the Lisp DEFSYSTEM of yore.
