Hadn't thought of that. In some cases cut'n'paste might be  
appropriate. In my case, I use ASDF routinely for everything I do (it  
is so easy and the payoff is so big). Including one of the contrib  
files in my project ASDF is no big deal. So I don't think smaller  
contributions are an issue. If the contribution is multi-file then  
maybe it should come with an ASDF definition of its own? If it has  
its own dependencies then it should come with its own ASDF file.

While on this theme, what about PACKAGE? It could come with its own  
package or maybe, Edi, you could provide something like a TBNL- 
CONTRIBUTIONS package? Sometimes it is going to have to be in a TBNL  
package I suppose. I don't know.

Cheers,
Bob
