[xcvb-devel] XCVB 0.340, the my sanity's back edition

[Faré]

So now with XCVB 0.340, most of our previous issues should have evaporated.

* The release tarball should "just work". Now with a target to install
the source code, and another target to bootstrap using ASDF.

[Quick poll: should or shouldn't the release tarball contain the .git
/ _darcs checkout information for xcvb and its dependencies?]

* my woes with with-compilation-unit were identified as some patched
SBCL being thoroughly confused when a lock is held while dumping an
image. Solution being to not dump the image inside of a
with-compilation-unit form (which is stupid anyway).

* Still plenty of work to do, but we now have a solid working basis
for a Lisp build system. Woohoo!
