<PING> ASDF support on MSWin is patchy. While CLisp treats MS shortcut files as symlinks, many other lisps do not. Since shortcuts don't work, some people end up adding sysdef-subdir-search to *system-definition-search-functions* (see cliki). In 2007, there was a patch for .lnk files; but it was never committed. https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=87ir98pisj.fsf%40cantab.net&forum_name=cclan-list The patch (against 1.102) is still available at http://www.lichteblau.com/blubba/shortcut/ It seems to apply cleanly to current ASDF; but my MSWin box isn't available for testing at the moment. Is there any chance of getting this vetted and into mainline ASDF?
