[asdf-devel] Workaround (was: adsf/bundle:monolithic-fasl sometimes puts dependent system first in list)

[Faré]

Dear Dave,

when I fixed the dependencies for monolithic-fasl-op in 2.32.13,
I failed to make an according change to the perform method.
I fixed the issue *and* I added a test case in the test suite.

My apologies for the breakage.

PS: there is no copy-directory for now.
On Unix, I use run-program to invoke cp or rsync,
that come with lots of options that are hard to reproduce.
On Windows, I suppose you could try xcopy.
A full-fledged cp or rsync replacement and/or wrapper
is out of the scope of uiop, but would make a nice Lisp library.
