Adding everything to 'asd-systems' would be tedious. I think Guix
package definitions are not the right place to keep the complete list of
available ASDF systems (just like we don't keep the list of ".so"
C libraries in package definitions).

There's a file search functionality that is being developped (there's
some info about it in the guix-devel mailing list I think). Maybe it
could be used as a base for a script searching for ASDF systems.
