works for all the CL implementations (e.g. `nyxt` only makes sense for `sbcl`).

@ -153,8 +154,19 @@ Lisp derivations (`abcl`, `sbcl` etc.) also export the `buildASDFSystem`
function, which is similar to `build-asdf-system` from `packages.nix`, but is
part of the public API.
It takes the following arguments:
- `pname`: the package name
- `version`: the package version
- `src`: the package source
- `patches`: patches to apply to the source before build
- `nativeLibs`: native libraries used by CFFI and grovelling
- `javaLibs`: Java libraries for ABCL
- `lispLibs`: dependencies on other packages build with `buildASDFSystem`
- `systems`: list of systems to build
It can be used to define packages outside Nixpkgs, and, for example, add them
into the package scope with `withOverrides` which will be discussed later.
