I did it a little differently, first converting my local Femlisp copy
(which had already diverted quite a bit from the server's version) from
CVS to git and then incorporating your changes.

You should be able to get this new version via:

git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/femlisp.git

First, I want to thank you very much.  It's very helpful if the asdf
maintainer himself improves things:-)

Here is a review of your commits:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
*   Remove antique copy of asdf.lisp and its ersatz trivial-asdf.lisp:
    these days, any decent implementation provides asdf if you (require "asdf").

Accepted.


*   Simplify infix.asd

Accepted.


*   Remove antique copy of femlisp.asd that only causes registry conflicts.

Not necessary any more (the whole systems directory vanished).


* Get rid of logical pathnames.
    Assume ASDF2 is available and correctly configured.
    Hopefully, it's actually ASDF3, and Quicklisp is there.
    In March 2014, we can actually assume ASDF3 everywhere but on LispWorks.

Accepted.  However, I introduced a function (femlisp-pathname name)
for abbreviating (asdf:system-relative-pathname :femlisp name).


*   Trivial "fixes" to undefined functions. TODO: have neuss confirm.

These changes are not necessary anymore.

*    Fix macro bug found by SBCL style-warning.

I had already fixed that one, too.

Thanks again for the improvements,

Nicolas
