It is quite obvious that if libraries depend on external files they will
cause a problem when used in *standalone programs and libraries*.
It is quite unfortunate that ASDF does not provide a declarative interface
to list the files that belong to a library and a set of functions to locate
them afterwards -- we could change such an interface to work in standalone
programs --. There is an old discussion in the ASDF mailing list where I put
forward this idea and was bashed down to exhaustion, but I cannot find it
anymore.
However, ordinary use via LOAD-OP, LOAD-FASL-OP or other operators will
function as usual -- I have experienced no problem so far with the libraries
that quicklisp ships.
