Yes, I know that. My question was how ASDF-INSTALL handles these
dependencies if the other system is not on my local disk. I think the
interesting part of ASDF-INSTALL is that it can pull software from the
Net if it isn't available locally.

Now, UFFI seems to be asdf-installable, so ASDF-INSTALL might download
and install it automatically. Does it do that?

What if the user trusts my PGP key but not Kevin's?

What if I depend on a Lisp library that is not asdf-installable? I
guess that's not really different from not having libgd installed.

Cheers,
Edi.
