I guess that's why I wouldn't recommend it. It pulls way too many
dependencies, tries to compile every system in advance, most
developers don't use it themselves, etc. I agree that a
repository/system stable release is useful but I don't think
asdf-install is an adequate solution.

In any case, by the time asdf-install fails, it has already downloaded
all of the dependencies required by CFFI, so it's somewhat usable.

I did add it to cliki at one point, but it depends on Swank. I'm not
sure how to add the latter to cliki. If you have a solution, please go
ahead and fix it.
