Oops. Applied as 3.1.0.3.

ABCL uses a specialized output translation to translate the location of FASLs for ASDF systems stored in jar files (like ABCL’s contribs) which can’t otherwise be expressed in the translation DSL.

If you can provide a simple test case to include in the test suite,
that'd be great. I'm feeling too lazy and not concerned enough to
write one. [My, didn't I resign as a maintainer?]
