Bug#577210: tries to write FASL in wrong directory

[Faré]

Oh, I think I know: the image is dumped without having run
(asdf:clear-output-translations) and (asdf:clear-source-registry). Oops.
Workaround: run (asdf:initialize-output-translations) in your Lisp at
the beginning,
or re-dump an image with the clear-* at the end of
common-lisp-controller:init-common-lisp-controller-v4 and/or in a new
function called by every dump script *after* the user-code in
lisp-config.lisp, because that file might be using ASDF.

While we're at it, there are other embarrassing small bugs in ASDF
1.627 (such as the failure to directorify $SBCL_HOME) that make me
recommend upgrading to 1.673 for the next C-L-C.
