I agree, having it parse asd files in a transparent manner would be a great
feature. I'm a big fan of convention and transparent intelligence. Would it be
possible to open the CLD source up to the public so that the Lisp community at

email address for patch-sets?

Speaking of which, I see room for a subversion bindings library. :)
