into the encodings feature. utf-8 is the default encoding and use :default
at your own risk. Anything else gets delegated to asdf-encodings.

* Use define-command to define and register a command
* Introduce the notion of workspace to store intermediate and target files.
* Update Makefiles for new intended output paths

* extract fasl type from target:
 at least lispworks depends on pathname type and its fasl type varies!
* rucksack not available on clisp (and needed fixes; see our xcvb repo of it)
* accept compile-file failure semantics of clisp
* suppress duplicate entries for a directory in the source-registry:
 The first one wins, with its recurse and exclude flags.
* fix hello and test/runme
* fix various option parsing mistakes

Unrot release and test scripts.
Tested: XCCL=stccl make test LISP=ccl

Passes a "make test"

My, that what much more painful than it ought to be.

TODO for ECL: distinguish linkable object files from loadable shared objects.

* fix various bugs left over from .507.
* back out generation of Lisp files in object tree
 until we can provide build processes with a mapping from name to pathname.
* pass self-test.

Some documentation update.
Tweak hello Makefile for ASDF 2.
re-Hush warning from registry.
Add require-asdf.

Give proper semantics to resolve-absolute-module-name and resolve-module-name.
Make the hello example work properly.
hello now uses the generate functionality to extract version from parent XCVB.
Have log-format do fresh-lines for you.
Make sure builds are only interned once.
Recognize that builds may be invalid because of inherited conflict.

Easy functionality: version, ssr and a2x work.

* cleanup previous clisp and ccl tweaks after discussing with maintainers.
* another pass of documentation, particularly after interaction with juanjo.

Shame on me for not previously using make pre-release-test.

* The Makefile has a pre-release-test target, so no need to commit
 "yet another attempt at auto-validated release" anymore --
 I will test whether the code I have passes muster before committing.
* error out early if XCVB_OBJECT_DIRECTORY wasn't configured.
* Fixes to the regressions in the non-enforcing backend that had been
 made to implicitly rely on a previous run of the enforcing backend.
* Factoring out common option handling.
* Removing cruft from previous over-design of the computation class.
* Many thanks to Attila Lendvai for testing.

* Fix output-path defaulting in asdf backend.
* Trivial refactorings in driver, alias rmx for remove-xcvb,
* Created XCVB hello, an example CL application using XCVB.
* Trivial test a2x-test for a2x and rmx
* Created a test suite -- itself still mostly untested.
* new checking function (still unused) in names
* More TODO items.

* xcvb-master: robustifying the reading of slave results
 (on a suggestion by Attila Lendvai) + doc updates
* xcvb repl shouldn't need you to export SBCL_HOME anymore.

a2x can now handle alexandria's :static-file's at long last.

+ shuffling code outside of main.lisp
+ a bit of farming

Complete the non-enforcing makefile backend.
Refactor a bit the asdf backend along the way.
Debug portablish-pathname, main.

Had to do a few things by hand to compile xcvb itself with poiu:
   mkdir obj-ne ; ln -s ../../poiu/poiu.asd obj-ne/ ;
   xcvb nm --build xcvb --parallel && make -f xcvb-ne.mk

Nothing functional yet, but checkpointing my work.
More documentation update.

Untested. Also, more refactoring.
Moving parse-formals away since it's not so useful and doesn't handle defmethod.
