Currently, when we test ECL, we do neither of these (as far as I can tell).

Would we want to make two different versions of the ECL tests, as follows:

ecl-bytecomp : first compile and load asdf, then call
INSTALL-BYTECODES-COMPILER, then run the tests.

ecl : first (require :CMP), then compile and load asdf, then run tests.

Question:  does this recipe FORCE us to have the right compiler for the
tests?
