the only place where run-shell-command is used is get-uid which is
implemented for clisp separately.

however, it does make sense to use

(ext:run-shell-command command :output (and *verbose-out* :terminal) :wait t)

instead of the current code.

note that clisp cannot accept arbitrary streams as :output and :input
arguments here.
