Is this necessary (or even desirable)? 

I don't know if it's a problem with asdf or the .asdf files in
paserve, but (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :aserve) doesn't recompile the
files (e.g. main.cl) that :depends-on macs.cl when this has changed.

There's no such problem with mk-defsystem or the .system files.
