Applied as [r14654][] ff.

The last patch is somewhat incomplete, as FIND-CONTRIB needs to do more
than just match on the classpath.  abcl-contrib.jar is not usually
mentioned on the classpath; we use the location of the system jar to
probe the filesystem for abcl-contrib.  So, when running for me
FIND-CONTRIB-JAR returns null in the first ignore-errors stanza in
FIND-CONTRIB, which then falls back to probing the locations returned
from the boot classloader.

I'm a bit muddle-headed from a cold at the moment, so maybe I should
wait a bit on your last patch, but it works for me and this is on the
dev branch, so if it breaks some usage, we can come back to this issue.
