Yes, if I understand your question correctly:  there are git submodules 
for everything that is needed to run the tests, except for the lisp 
implementations.

I have long had a complimentary Lispworks license, with use restricted 
to only testing compatibility of ASDF (and another open source library) 
with LW.

In mine, I simply set the environment variables `ASDF_TEST_LISPS` and 
the variables that point to the lisp implementations.  Then I call `make 
test-all-no-upgrades-no-stop`.

But this is *not* the clever way to do things, if you have the ability 
to spawn multiple processes for concurrent testing on multiple 
implementations.
