ASDF has favoring LOCALAPPDATA over APPDATA since 2.015.6. But I see
quicklisp is still using 2.014.6.

Now, considering the ECL bug in 2.20 (aka 2.019.9), I recommend that
ECL and/or Quicklisp should upgrade to 2.019.8 (if they upgrade),
until 2.21 is ready (which it won't be until we fix those 20 systems
that depend on something else than UTF-8).
