[asdf-devel] Tests now leave files behind

[Faré]

The simplest way to do it would be something like

export ASDF_OUTPUT_TRANSLATIONS=/:$PWD/../tmp/fasls/$command

or maybe you'll prefer that at the end of defun load-asdf:

(asdf::initialize-output-translations
 `(:asdf-output-translations
   (:root (,(truename (asdf:merge-pathnames* #p"../tmp/fasls/
*default-pathname-defaults*)) :implementation))
   :ignore-inherited-configuration))
