I've been looking around for defsystem code, but everything I've found
is several years old and lacking documentation.

Has a standard for defsystem been established yet? Can someone point
me to the most widely accepted code that can be easily modified to 
run on the major lisp systems ... hopefully with at least a few
documented examples?

Thanks for any help.

MK:DEFSYSTEM from the AI repository is my personal favourite.  It runs
on almost *all* the known CL systems and it is very reliable.  A
must.  If you are referring to this package as being "outdated", I
can't help you.  It is still the best thing around.  (Documentation
should be available as well as a CMU TR).
