To contiune talking to myself in public: what I suggest is that port in the CLOCC is made into an asdf-installable package, given a nice, shiny homepage of it's own, and given an entry in the FAQ, so that there is a canonical and in-newbie reach answer "how do I portably do x" - "well, you asdf-install port and call y".
Of course that won't be much use to newbies with distros/implementations that don't bundle asdf-install, but.. John Connors wrote: > Actually, I take that back.
