Oh.  I just assumed that everybody else had it working.

Bear in mind that I am on one of the CVS versions, so here goes:

In my openmcl-init.lisp I have:

(require 'asdf)
(pushnew "/home/alpha/ccl/tools/asdf-install/" asdf:*central-registry*  
:test #'equal)
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'asdf-install)

I have a file called .asdf-install in my home directory which has the  
following in it:
(setq asdf-install:*verify-gpg-signatures* nil)

Probably that can be moved into the openmcl-init.lisp file in some way,  
but I haven't tried.

So, let's get xlunit:
$ openmcl
; loading system definition from
; /home/alpha/ccl/tools/asdf-install/asdf-install.asd into #<Package  
"ASDF0">
; registering #<SYSTEM ASDF-INSTALL #x63C9ADE> as ASDF-INSTALL
Welcome to OpenMCL Version (Beta: Darwin) 0.14.2-040925!
? (asdf-install:install 'xlunit)
Install where?
1) System-wide install:
    System in /usr/local/asdf-install/site-systems/
    Files in /usr/local/asdf-install/site/
2) Personal installation:
    System in /Users/andrewl/.asdf-install-dir/systems/
    Files in /Users/andrewl/.asdf-install-dir/site/

Okay, that worked, so let's try again without the install:
$ openmcl
; loading system definition from
; /home/alpha/ccl/tools/asdf-install/asdf-install.asd into #<Package  
"ASDF0">
; registering #<SYSTEM ASDF-INSTALL #x63C9ADE> as ASDF-INSTALL

Type :? for other options.

? ;; Errr, that didn't work
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'xlunit)
; loading system definition from
; /Users/andrewl/.asdf-install-dir/systems/xlunit.asd into #<Package  
"ASDF3">
; registering #<SYSTEM XLUNIT #x63F0D5E> as XLUNIT
; registering #<SYSTEM XLUNIT-TESTS #x640736E> as XLUNIT-TESTS
NIL
? (in-package #:xlunit)
#<Package "XLUNIT">
? ;; Much better

For me, the magic bit was figuring out about the 'asdf:load-op stuff.   
Since I use xlunit all the time, I just added the (asdf:operate  
'asdf:load-op 'xlunit) line to my openmcl-init.lisp file.

Feel free to cut, paste, mangle, etc. this mail anyway you wish for  
documentation or tutorials.

Hope this is useful,
