I was not aware that your goal was to actually build all of axiom
using asdf alone.  I thought the target was to get asdf handling
pamphlets?  Forgive me if I misunderstood.  

Dumping the images as is currently done yields the benefit that we
dont carry unneeded code into the final image.  This is, I feel,
important.

Driving the process using make is, IMHO, still preferred.  Make could
call out to an ASDF aware lisp at various stages to compile, load, and
save the system when appropriate.


Cheers,
Steve
