[Ecls-list] OK, really simple request for anyone using ECL on Cygwin

[Robin Lee Powell]

Can someone with ECL working on Cygwin please show me how to load
ECL's asdf, using an actual "load" command?  If you can get it to
work, *please* also show me the --prefix= you passed to configure.

My attempts are below.  Almost everything that ECL claims it can't
find work just fine at the bash prompt.  Some of them even work at a
CMD prompt, once \\ is dealt with.

Why it's trying to change to that as a *directory* I have no idea.
