[Ecls-list] Two small problems with ECL 15.2.21 on Windows

[Polos Ruetz]

Hi,

just wanted to report two small problems with new ECL 15.2.21 on Windows,
using the MSVC (2008/2010) compilers:

(1) File "ecl/src/c/file.d" needs this patch in order to compile:

                mode = SEEK_END;


(2) Starting up ECL in a Windows console gives this error; as you can
see, it's simply a problem with character encoding of the name of the
new maintainer:
