I figured out how ASDF decides that some action has been done. The question now is how to adapt this to the SICL bootstrapping procedure.

One possibility is to completely override this mechanism so that ASDF never determines that the action has been done. Then I would always call some function in SICL-BOOT. That function would then check the environment to see whether the source file has been loaded, and load it if and only if it has not already been loaded.

Another possibility is to configure the ASDF machinery so that it checks what time the file was previously loaded.

I spent a significant part of the morning taking apart the clothes dryer. The plastic handle for opening the door was about to break, and if it had broken, we would not be able to get the clothes out, because to get to the mechanism, the door must already be open.

beach: yep, it seems you definitely didn't go the right way about it… You should have started programming a robot to do the work for you!
