I was just thinking how to extend this functionality to user-defined systems
and hit another problem. The goal is to take an ASDF system and prepare a
bundle that contains a PREBUILT-SYSTEM file (*.asd), a library file (*.a or
*.lib) and a FASL (*.fas) This set of files can then be distributed
elsewhere.

The problem is that the prebuilt system definition must contain the location
of these other files,

(DEFSYSTEM "user-file"
 :CLASS ASDF::PREBUILT-SYSTEM
 :LIB "user-file.a"
 :COMPONENTS ((:COMPILED-FILE "serve-event")))

Currently this works for ECL's contributed extensions because we hardcode
logical pathnames, as "SYS:user-file.a"

However in general these files would be stored together with the *.asd file
so their full pathnames could be resolved based on the former. How can I do
that without getting the pathnames get overwritten by ASDF?

Changing output-translations is not an option, because this would have
global effects.
