Sorry for not following the line wrapping discussion earlier. Now that
I've had a chance to build some systems, the new output looks a bit ugly
to me.
Here's how 2.010 looked:
    * (asdf:load-system "my-very-long-system-woo-hoo")
    ; loading system definition from
    ; /home/xach/src/asdf/my-very-long-system-woo-hoo.asd into #<PACKAGE "ASDF0">
    ; registering #<SYSTEM #:MY-VERY-LONG-SYSTEM-WOO-HOO> as
    ; MY-VERY-LONG-SYSTEM-WOO-HOO
    T
Here's how 2.013.4 looks:
    * (asdf:load-system "my-very-long-system-woo-hoo")
    ; Loading system definition from /home/xach/src/asdf/my-very-long-system-woo-hoo.asd into #<PACKAGE
                                                                                                "ASDF0">
    ; Registering #<SYSTEM
                    #:MY-VERY-LONG-SYSTEM-WOO-HOO> as MY-VERY-LONG-SYSTEM-WOO-HOO
    T
I thought it might be improved by setting *print-pretty* to nil, but
that still produces this:
    * (asdf:load-system "my-very-long-system-woo-hoo")
    ; Loading system definition from /home/xach/src/asdf/my-very-long-system-woo-hoo.asd into #<PACKAGE "ASDF0">
    ; Registering #<SYSTEM #:MY-VERY-LONG-SYSTEM-WOO-HOO> as MY-VERY-LONG-SYSTEM-WOO-HOO
    T
It looks like there are extra blank lines before each message.
In case your mail client makes the wrapping look weird, I also pasted
these examples at http://paste.lisp.org/display/120843/raw.
I really prefer the older output. If the newer output is kept, it would
be nice if the extra blank lines could be eliminated.
Thanks,
Zach
