5. asdf-output-locations

a. desirable? b. contrib versus integral c. configuration

i would very much like it to be an optional, configurable contribution rather than part of the core implementation.

I have sympathy with making it optional (in fact, I argued for turning asdf-binary-locations into a contrib rather than merging way back.)

However:

Isn't asdf-output-locations somewhat like a CL pendant to `make install' if you squint your eyes?

Shouldn't that be an integral part of ASDF?
