I was not aware that your goal was to actually build all of axiom
using asdf alone.  I thought the target was to get asdf handling
pamphlets?  Forgive me if I misunderstood.  

Dumping the images as is currently done yields the benefit that we
dont carry unneeded code into the final image.  This is, I feel,
important.

Driving the process using make is, IMHO, still preferred.  Make could
call out to an ASDF aware lisp at various stages to compile, load, and
save the system when appropriate.
