Well, if you want to fork+exec a subprocess, then asdf:run-program does it,
and lisp-invocation can find the lisp binary,
at least on a lot of implementations, and/or with user help.

Wow!  Holy stale complications, batman!

Robert apparently suggested something (apparently) much simpler in 

  https://github.com/quicklisp/quicklisp-client/pull/128

but without any commentary from Zach on that approach.

Given asdf-3.3 is out, and recent sbcl’s ship with it, which is the preferred 
way forward from ASDF’s perspective?

Problems with DEFSYSTEM-DEPENDS-ON

[Mark Evenson]

The usage of DEFSYSTEM-DEPENDS-ON to specify dependencies that will be
satisfied by QL:QUICKLOAD no longer seems to be working in asdf-3.3.1.

It used to be the case that to use the [PROVE testing framework][1], it was
sufficient to place a

   …
   :defsystem-depends-on (:prove-asdf)
   …

clause in the secondary system to be tested, and then upon a QL:QUICKLOAD of 
this system,
the dependency on PROVE was then resolved via a network download from Quicklisp.

I believe this was working with asdf-3.2, but testing that assumption is a 
little hard as
asdf-3.3 refuses to degrade itself with a downgrade, and all my systems are 
running asdf-3.3.

Maybe something in Quicklisp changed as well?
