Do monolithic FASLs work on MKCL, since ECL is effectively dead? If not, then we should probably document things in the ABCL manual. But then that approach is a little odd, as the majority of the code resides in ASDF. But it seems a bit out of place to document something in the ASDF manual that only applies to one, and possibly two, Common Lisp implementations.
Actually, [Dave Cooper's blog post][1] was enough for me to understand what is going on. Thanks Dave!

One difference for the current ASDF is that to view where the monolithic bundle gets written, one has to use the MONOLITHIC-COMPILE-BUNDLE-OP as follows:
(asdf:output-files 'asdf:monolithic-compile-bundle-op :cl-ppcre)
I would suggest that ASDF:BUNDLE-SYSTEM emit this sort of information as well.
