Yes, it was my doing, sorry about that. I'll revert that change today
and send an appropriate patch. Especially that ABCL wants to use it too.

Generally I've seen both functions make-build and bundle-system as
deprecated for quite a while in asdf source code. While I didn't want to
get rid of make-build, because it's part of the official ECL build API,
I've grepped through the libraries in Quicklisp and nobody seemed to use
bundle-system.

It's not patch-level release, but commit level.

Let me know if you troubleshot this. I think we should revert for mkcl
replacement of load-op with load-bundle-op and keep it for ecl and clasp
in that case. I'll check on clasp if it doesn't have a regression.
