Monolithic build of static library

[Иван Трусков]

As far as i can tell, my central registry isn't set up. After starting
ECL and loading ASDF, when I check asdf:*central-registry*, it is
empty.

It must be noted, however, that to get to :str package that I want to
use, I must load :ecl-quicklisp, which adds path ~/quicklisp/quicklisp
to the central registry. In any way, it doesn't seem that there is
code of uiop in there.

I have tried compiling with listing "asdf", "uiop" as dependencies to
no success. The problem still persists.
