Hi,

until recently I worked with mk:defsystem to define compilation of my
packages. I like the fresh concepts of asdf and consider to switch.
But I want to have the following feature:

(make:defsystem :bla
     :components (
                 (:module test-env
                          :initially-do (mk::find-system 'test-suite :load "test:load-test.lisp")
                          :compile-form
                          (mk::operate-on-system 'test-suite 'compile)
                          :load-form
                          (mk::operate-on-system 'test-suite 'load))
...

This construct allows to load independent system-definitions into
a larger system and have them automatically compiled
(according to dependencies).
With asdf I could not figure out how to do this.
Even if I add the global system (asdf:find-system :test-suite) to the
components of bla, It does nothing on the sub-system.

Has anyone solved this already?
