The lisp I've been using on cs is clisp, 
which has the asdf utiltity, but apparently not asdf-install

I tried for awhile to install the various prereqs, but no success yet.

-----------------------

$ clisp
> *lib-directory*
#P"/usr/lib/clisp/"
> asdf:*central-registry*
((MERGE-PATHNAMES ".clc/systems/" (USER-HOMEDIR-PATHNAME))
 *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS* #P"/usr/share/common-lisp/systems/")

$ cd libs

$ wget http://weitz.de/files/drakma.tar.gz
$ tar zxf drakma.tar.gz

$ wget http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-plus-ssl/download/cl+ssl-2007-07-07.tar.gz
$ tar zxf cl+ssl-2007-07-07.tar.gz

$ wget http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf-install/asdf-install_latest.tar.gz
