[Ecls-list] MSVC instead of Cygwin? Actually, not really...

Having copied my Cygwin over to that location (whee!), I now get:

;;; ASDF-INSTALL: Installing USOCKET in /usr/local/asdf-install/site/, /usr/loca
l/asdf-install/site-systems/
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/Cygwin/bin/bash: tar -C "/cygdrive/c/usr/local/asdf-install
/site/" -xzvf "/cygdrive/c/asdf-install-0.asdf-install-tmp": No such file or dir
ectory

Running the tar by hand works Just Fine.

*sigh*

I did eventually get this working; here's the asdf-install patch:

diff -C3 -wr asdf-install/asdf-install/installer.lisp asdf-install-orig/asdf-install/installer.lisp

                (namestring (truename source))
                (namestring (truename packagename))))
    #+scl

                (namestring (truename source))
                (namestring (truename packagename))))
    #+scl

Also, for those of you who, like me, don't want to move cygwin just
to make asdf-install happy, here's what you need to mess with:

diff -C3 -wr asdf-install/asdf-install/variables.lisp asdf-install-orig/asdf-install/variables.lisp
