Obviously my issue is MinGW-specific, then.

Also, pardon my hasty incompetence, I now realise that NAMESTRING
isn't the culprit, it now appears more like LOAD doesn't perform enough
path frobbing to turn "d:/usr/src/ecl-bin/asdf" into
"d:/usr/src/ecl-bin/asdf.fas", and try that instead.. still looking at
it.
