The wiki says that a trading caravan needs 3 tiles wide to access the depo with a wagon.  I've cleared forests and paved roads but the traders still show up with pack animals. . . .what am I supposed to do?

nothing, wagons are broken and never show up. Well, you can wait for the next release, the news are promising

I -believe- paved road to edge still helps with accessiblity and route control, if you uses shift-d to check for deport access. I haven't used paved road outside in a long time so take that with a mountain of salt

As nanomage said, caravans are bugged at the moment.

When they are fixed, if you haven't put down a paved road, forests can crop up on the path to your fort. The solution, as always, is magma.

Magma only affects anything in the plot it is in. Trees stop magma from entering the tile they are in. Therefore, trees seem to be immune to magma.

I have heard that the 3 tile wide depot route still works. Build a paved road from the edge to the main gate. Leave a three tile wide access route to the depot. Then build a drawbridge on each side of the road to the map edge that raises toward the road. Raise them  to act as a wall.
 Its been said that the caravans will arrive at this point, but liaisons, sieges, migrants, wild animals will still appear anywhere. This deserves some experimentation
