Please don't say this, unless you also provide instructions that allow
people installing their own ASDF's not break things like SBCL contrib
modules.

"Why is SB-FOO broken?" is pretty frustrating when it turns out that
they broke their own environment my installing another copy ASDF that
messes with SBCL's assumptions about loading contrib modules.
