There is a 'compile.bat' in tests/ that compiles the DLL with MSVC,
and the Makefile works with MinGW (which is what I've tested it with).

It would be nice to figure out how to get the ASDF system to compile
the DLL on Windows.  I'm not sure I'd want to include the DLL in the
repository as the risk of it not getting updated when the testsuite is
updated is somewhat high since most (all?) of us primarily use UN*X.
