Will you please explain the problem further?  Is it simply because
asdf-binary-locations wants to make directory names (with periods) that
cause windows to choke?

If so, I suggest you patch  implementation-specific-directory-name by
wrapping something around its output format statement that will
substitute either #\- or #\_ for #\.

If that's not it, I don't know what's wrong...  Got a backtrace for us?
