OK, so that's (small) progress.

ASDF is correctly catching undefined-variable warnings that it wasn't
catching before. These warnings were always there, but previously,
ASDF1 and 2 was failing to check for them and consequently fail the
build, because of its WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT. ASDF 3, which handles
WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT correctly on SBCL and CCL, catches these
warnings and now fails the build as per SBCL's default
*compile-file-warning-behaviour*. This is actually progress.

The authors of all these packages need to fix them.

Now what's the right path to go from here to there, and should we
kluge ASDF in the meantime, I'm not sure.
Setting asdf:*warnings-file-type* to NIL should restore the previous
behavior and catch fewer warnings.
