I think the sb-bsd-sockets module is there since 0.7.13.  The
directory containing sbcl.core should have sub-directories corresponding
to the various modules and symbolic links to their *.asd files in the
`systems' sub-directory.  Perhaps you have to set the environment
variable SBCL_HOME.  REQUIRE knows how to find asdf and REQUIREing the
other modules loads them via asdf.  I tested this with SBCL 0.8.7.56
(with threads) under Linux 2.6.2.

This said, I am not very happy with including server.lisp in the
standard image since, well, it makes the build unnecessarily fragile
and only xmaxima users need it.
