Introspecting test suite passing/failing

[Robert Goldman]

Will you please send me the example (with ancillary files), so that I 
can see exactly what's going wrong?

Most of my actual systems reverted to using
```
(asdf:load-system "fiveam-asdf")
```
in the `.asd` file, because I didn't know about the keyword trick, so I 
haven't tested it extensively.

Also, I tend *not* to use the `ASDF/USER` package, but instead be old 
school and make a package for each `.asd` file.

Best,
r
