cl-defun is a macro; using it ought to work without causing cl-lib to
be loaded.  So if frameset.el does load cl-lib, the next question is
what it is in the file that actually does so.

We might discover an underlying bug by which some construction loads
cl-lib but shouldn't do so.  Or we might find a few things frameset.el
which load cl-lib for clear reasons, but which would be a small
change.
