excellent; thanks. That'll save me having to do it again!

Nothing! Both modules and features are ways of trying to do the right  
thing given the current environment. ASDF doesn't currently provide a  
(convenient) way to load stuff if it isn't there (though it can load  
more stuff if some other stuff _is_ there). The extension to feature  
will help ameliorate this.
