This only happens in windows, where the bytecmp module (bytecodes compiler)
is loaded by default. The problem is the following one.

Path 1: bytecmp -> cmp -> asdf

This works, as CMP redefines COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME and ASDF may work with
the new compiler (which replaces the bytecodes compiler without problems).

Path 2: bytecmp -> asdf -> cmp

This does not work. ASDF overwrites REQUIRE and relies on
COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME, which tells ECL that the name of a compiled file
called CMP has to be cmp.fasc (vs. cmp.fas which is the real name).

I do not see a simple escape out of this, other than creating ficticious
*.fasc files for every *.fas file in ECL's library.
