I plan on creating ASDF definitions for MCL and OpenMCL also.

Since ASDF is a single small file, I would also like to propose 
including it the distribution (it can just be ignored if a local 
version is loaded). I would really like to see Portable AllegroServe 
load and run without having to worry about finding and loading other 
software.
