ASDF usually works by looking for ASDF '*.asd' definitions in the
locations specified by ASDF:*CENTRAL-REGISTRY*. Under systems with
symbolic links groked by the Lisp (I don't think Windows works well for
this), one just creates symbolic links to one of the locations in
ASDF:*CENTRAL-REGISTRY* which enables ASDF to determine all the
pathnames specified in the ASDF file.
For instance, I usually piggyback off of SBCL so I can use its working
ASDF-INSTALL package to install ASDF systems to play around with, so I
have the following statement in my '.abclrc' file:
(require 'asdf)
(pushnew '(merge-pathnames ".sbcl/systems/" (user-homedir-pathname))
asdf:*central-registry*)
Then, if I have ABCL installed under ~/work/abcl, I can just add a
symlink like
unix$ ln -s ~/work/abcl/abcl.asd ~/.sbcl/systems/abcl.asd
and I can always refer to the ABCL ASDF definition regardless of what
the current directory of the ABCL REPL happens to be.

Apparently, I included a workaround that isn't working anymore (I don't
remember writing this, but it is there). The code in the RUN function
'test/lisp/abcl/package.lisp' attempts to set the
*DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS* to the *LOAD-TRUENAME* of this file, but
apparently this isn't working anymore. Perhaps the PROGV form has been
broken in the meantime?
