Is there any reason we shouldn't replace

#+clozure (,(wilden (truename #p"ccl:")) ())

with

#+clozure (,(wilden (let ((*default-pathname-defaults* #P""))
                      (truename #p"ccl:"))) ())

in asdf.lisp?

If you think that's right, we could make that change.

It really would be best if you were to make a launchpad bug for this,
though, so that other developers would see this.  I'd be more confident
offering this as a patch if other ccl-using asdfers could see....
