Dave and I had a brief conversation about it at ILC 2014. My advice
was to modify test-bundle.script and not bother with subprocesses,
just with detecting side-effects in a .asd file (defpackage or
defparameter), and undoing it (if needed) before the next test:
compare the situation before and after making the bundle, undo
effects; compare the situation before and after loading the bundle,
undo effects; mark the systems immutable, touch for modification;
compare the situation before and after trying to update. Repeat the
test without marking the system immutable.
