What is the recipe for a hot-upgrade?

I'm interested, but I hate looking at pcl. :-(

I ran the testsuite again.  All 43 tests pass.  There are 3 notes
compiling asdf, one of which can probably by fixed by not assigning to
ensure-directory in resolve-location. (Based on the compiler note; I
didn't look to see if this is a real issue or not.)

I get a message from file3-only about one sequence being a different
length from another.  There are more messages there about two things
yielding the same path.

ASDF-ENCODINGS test was skipped.

asdf.texinfo has a couple of warnings about a misplaced { and } on
line 269.

So, on whole, it seems asdf is working fine.
