Remove ASDF-INSTALL from ABCL-CONTRIB

The Quicklisp library manager has superseded all plausible use of
ADSF-INSTALL at this historical moment.

14    ABCL specific extensions to ASDF, including resolution of binary
15    JVM artifacts cached from the network according to Maven metadata
16    with the derived transitive relationships.

26   
27    A higher-order, more Lisp oriented interface for constructing Lisp
28    interfaces to existing binary code libraries available for the JVM
29    built on the primitives provided by the JAVA package.  Used in the
30    [lsw2][] Semantic Web package for dealing with OWL2 ontologies in
31    RDF(S) and other notations.

35jfli
36
37    The "original" higher-order JVM interface descended from Rich
38    Hickey's work on the JVM before Clojure.  This implementation
39    currently uses a fork of the public [JFLI][] API that uses the
40    java interop of the ABCL JAVA package instead of the JNI
41    interface.

45mvn
46    A collection of various useful JVM artifacts downloaded and cached by
47    the Aether Maven connector.  Requires the maven-3.0.3 executable "mvn"
48    (or "mvn.bat" under MSFT Windows) to be in the current processes's
49    path.
50   
51    mvn currently includes only the single artifact:
52   
53    jna
54         Cache, from the network if necessary, the jna-4.2.2.jar binary
55         artifact in the current JVM process, allowing the
56         bootstrapping of dynamically linking to shared executables on
57         the host platform.
