Demo files aren't part of System.

ucinit.qfasl is a weird one, leave it and ignore it.

   So why are references to format-area still in the code?  Who is supposed to 
bind/setq it?

Becasue you are compiling System with a old FORMAT loaded.


NEW-SYSTEM just recompiles things, if you have new macros they need to
be loaded first.  E.g., the case of FORMAT.

So .. (make-system 'format :recompile) or some such, save image, and
then NEW-SYSTEM or similar.
