clisp 2.49: asdf cannot find asd

My setup is: Windows Vista clisp 2.49

I run clisp and load asdf without any problems. I push a directory pathname into asdf:*central-registry* and copy a shortcut of cl-ppcre.asd into the directory. Then I try to load-op it with (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'cl-ppcre) and i get a response that "component 'cl-ppcre' not found". Any suggestions? Asdf is version 2.010.

    In a few words, the problem is that ASDF doesn't like Windows' shortcuts, it wants soft links and the two are not the same. The link describes 2-3 ways of dealing with this.
