Hi,

Instead of propagating the dependencies, we use configuration files
indicating to ASDF where to find the sources and compiled files of the
dependencies in the store.

These configuration files are in "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/common-lisp"
or "$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/etc/common-lisp".

Do you have a use case where the Common Lisp implementation fails to
find dependencies?
If yes, could you give an example?
