I haven't made time to read Christophe's and Faré's comments but I  
agree that this is broken in various ways. We'll add it to the list of  
things to fix.

The output-files technique is the most flexible. However, as Faré  
said, ASDF now includes some measure of customization out of the box  
(1.365). See http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/getting-started.html#header2-27 
  and http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/manual.html#binary-locations
