In UNIX environment, LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./ecl in ecls/build/ should do
(check with ldd if ld.so will find correct libecl.so instead of
system-wide-installed one).  If you want to also load new fasl files
(cmp.fas, sockets.fas, asdf.fas), you may need to redefine `sys:'
pathname translation to point to build directory.
