OK, we'll leave consideration of that for stage two :-).

Sounds good.  I'm busy thinking about the best way to generate
intermediate file names - I'm not sure if using random filenames is a
good idea because for rebuilds I would have to store the original
random mappings.  Doable, but a bit of a pain.  Once I've got that, it
should be just a case of implementing all the perform methods.

It would be nice to bootstrap Boot without having to dump a core - I'll
have to play around a little and see what the hurdles are.  Without
that, asdf can't build the entire Axiom from scratch in one shot as far
as I can tell - dumping core files ends a session.  Hmm.

Cheers,
CY
