3.2rc on MKCL (Was: ASDF 3.1.7.43 is 3.2 release candidate)

Oh. Is it the case that you don't even try to properly escape commands

Grepping your source code, it looks like it has a lot of bogus
escaping, on Unix as well as on Windows :-(

mkcl needs an interface that works, and then asdf can use it.
