    What I do is to create a local system which includes the other system
    and then load that system instead. For example, I have a system called
    SPAR-Print which looks like this:

    (defsystem 1spar-print
0	(:default-pathname "sys:local-mods;")
      (:module print print (:type :system))
      (:serial
	print
	"printer-mods"))

    When I make changes to the print system, I patch SPAR-Print and then
    stick the source code in 2sys:local-mods;printer-mods.lisp0.

Brilliant!  Exactly the right thing for what I need to do.  Thanks!
