*LISP-HOME* is badly named at this point, as it refers to the location of "boot.lisp" which is where the FASLs are located when ABCL system source is compiled (which it is in about every "normal" deployment situation).

The way I thinking at this point is that COMPILE-SYSTEM compiles and dumps a form to be picked up at runtime.
