Bug Description

uffi.asd was added to CFFI based on the assumption that only the toplevel .asd files would be searched by default. (This was ASDF-Install's convention.) However, many systems nowadays perform a deeper search for .asd files, e.g. clbuild, and that potentially interferes with UFFI.

uffi.asd is useful because it provides a drop-in replacement for UFFI without the need to change third-party libraries.

It should be investigated whether we can leverage any ASDF features that would allow for uffi-compat/uffi.asd to bail out when UFFI is available.
