documentation for installation incomplete #97

Asdf fails to load cl-cffi-gtk

Component :CFFI not found, required by #<SYSTEM "cl-cffi-gtk-glib-init">

The installation manual says, I must read the asdf documentation and register the dependent libraries to asdf. But the asdf manual says in case I install my stuff into ~/common-lisp/ there is nothing to do. I cloned cl-cffi-gtk to that folder, so it should work then.

I think, either the cl-cffi-gtk documentation is incomplete or the asdf documentation is incorrect or cl-cffi-gtk does not have the correct structure for asdf.

OK, the problem is that I must install the dependencies first. That makes sense. The documentation should list the dependencies before the installation instructions and not after.
