Hi, Ray --

I will be happy to make this modification.

Can you provide a test that will barf when using the current, incorrect
form of user-homedir-pathname?

When I run cmucl 20f, I don't have any trouble with the current ASDF,
and it makes files inside
~/.cache/common-lisp/cmu-20f__20f_unicode_-macosx-x86/ just fine.

So if you could give a concrete example of how this is confusing ASDF
and CMUCL, I'd appreciate it.

cheers,
