Re: [PATCH v2 01/13] build-system: Add asdf-build-system.

Hi again,

Things took a little longer than expected as I ran into a bug with ECL
(fix attached). I'll try to upstream it later. It can be re-ordered
somewhere nearer the beginning of the series.

I found a better way to solve this.

I hope I've managed to cover everything you've suggested. The slynk
packages look quite a bit nicer now. I'll attach the updates as replies
to the corresponding v2 patches. Let me know what you think.
