There are a lot of Common Lisp defsystems in the world. The venerable mk-defsystem and another system-definition facility are the most popular but there is also Allegro's built in one, GBBOpen's mini-module system, the EKSL Generic Load Utilities, Yet Another Define System and so on.
Defsystem-compatibility papers over the differences between systems and also provides a small set of relective capabilities to help system groveling tools become more portable.
It currently works only with ASDF. I'll be adding support for MK-Defsystem in sidereal time unless there is a request from the ether in which case it might happen more quickly.
defsystem-compatibility isn't a separate project at this point but if you have questions, comments or concerns, just drop Gary King a line.
A Darcs repository is available. The darcs command is listed below:
darcs get http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-containers/defsystem-compatibility/
defsystem-compatibility is also ASDF installable. Its CLiki home is right where you'd expect.
There's also a handy gzipped tar file. Tinaa documentation is also available.
