[Gardeners] CLOCC, CCLAN, vn-cclan

[John Connors]

To contiune talking to myself in public: what I suggest is that port in the 
CLOCC is made into an asdf-installable package, given a nice, shiny homepage of 
it's own, and given an entry in the FAQ, so that there is a canonical and 
in-newbie reach answer "how do I portably do x" - "well, you asdf-install port 
and call y".

Of course that won't be much use to newbies with distros/implementations that 
don't bundle asdf-install, but..
