Replying to myself, I forgot to mention that I had set symbolic links in "C:\usr\bin\" for the ECL files and forgot to create one for the directory with the C header files. I did that, so using:

#!/usr/bin/ecl.exe -shell
(format t "Content-Type: text/plain~%~%")
(load "/Users/marcio/quicklisp/setup.lisp")

Yielded this:

;;; Loading #P"C:/usr/bin/asdf.fas"
;;; Loading #P"C:/usr/bin/cmp.fas"

Which I think is because when compiling files I need to make sure to do it from within the Visual Studio command prompt e.g. "vcvarsall.bat", so that's why it can't find the compiler. Besides this problem it shouldn't even try to compile again because it has been already.
