I'm aware of this.  That's not what I'm looking for.

What are you looking for? A search path mechanism? 

(Maybe I should make my little "smart-require" thing public. It works
approximately like require, but does on-demand compiling and allows
you to set a search path for source files and requires you to set a
destination directory for .fasl files. In addition it does some extra
tricks, like picking up $Id...$ from rcs/cvs headers. Not much really
(250 lines of code), but I find it quite useful and think I'm happier
with something like this than with defsystem.)
