[Ecls-list] -shell / -load not working?

[Julian Stecklina]

Hello,

consider a test.lisp file like this:

(require :cmp)
(format t "Done.~%")

If I now try to do ecl -shell test.lisp I get:

> ecl -norc -shell test.lisp
;;; Loading #P"/usr/local/lib/ecl/cmp.fas"

Ok, this basically means that some error happened. This can be reduced
to test2.lisp:

(error "FOO")

> ecl -norc -load test2.lisp

I tried to change ECL's handling of command-line arguments, but did not
get it working properly. (See patch some days/weeks ago)
