+1 to allowing overrides for =asd-files=. If nothing else, packages need
to be flexible!

In addition to what Pierre is pointing out, the only issue I can think
of with reading in all asd files is perhaps source trees which vendor
packages. I don't think this is common in Common Lisp source trees, so
maybe that's something we can deal with if it comes up.
