Can't you just set (and export) the CCL variable? (And for Allegro,
ALLEGRO and ALLEGROMODERN ?)

The test-bundle.script output suggests that, on Windows, there might
be a bug in ccl:fasl-concatenate. Please create a reduced test, and
open a bug against CCL if that is indeed the case, using
http://trac.clozure.com/ccl/newticket

The test-configuration.script failure shows that some tests assume
unix pathnames and : as separator between paths while parsing lists of
pathnames in a string. On Windows, ; is the separator between paths.
The tests need to be conditionalized on #+asdf-unix, and/or some
non-unix equivalent has to be provided and/or the strings should be
joined using (uiop:inter-directory-separator) rather than #\: . Same
failure in test-utilities.script.

The test-multiple.script failure reveals an error in run-program, that
looks like it does a (cons "cmd" argument) instead of a (list "cmd"
argument). Same failure in test-run-program.script.

NB: I am NOT going to fix these failures, though I apologize for
introducing them. However, I am glad to be of help to anyone willing
to figure out where and how to fix them.
