A port of ASDF-INSTALL has been committed in r12487. Work isn't complete, as 1) Microsoft Windows needs more testing, and 2) this is currently an "optional" contrib not distributed with base ABCL. We need to decide on how best to handle this.

Committed as contrib in 0.20.

To use the contrib:

1) build the ABCL contrib via 'ant abcl.contrib'

2) Place the resulting JAR file in the ASDF:*CENTRAL-REGISTRY* via something like the following which is valid for an abcl built from $HOME/work/abcl

(pushnew (format nil 
                 "jar:file:~A/dist/abcl-contrib.jar!/asdf-install/" 
                 (merge-pathnames "work/abcl/"
                                  (user-homedir-pathname)))
         asdf:*central-registry*)

3) Now ASDF-INSTALL can be loaded via 

CL-USER> (require 'asdf-install)
