As you know, the CLOCC is a strange beast. Essentially there is a core of code that is maintained by Sam plus a number of other bits and pieces that are maintained by other people. I guess that no response does not mean that the asd files are not wanted. It just means that the different authors have other to-do lists in their hands. In the case of the systems I maintain on the CLOCC, I'd say that only CL-CONFIGURATION (which is - I admit - suffering from a bit of bit rot) requires a asd file. The others are quite basic utilities which I wrote in order to support "defsystem" utilities, e.g. CL-ENVIRONMENT (which instead is well maintained, at least in CVS). Hence they come with their own specialized loader/compiler script.
