Issue Loading McClim

[Nisar Ahmad]

Hello Oscar,

Before trying to guess anything, I would like to know versions of ASDF, 
SBCL and Quicklisp. Could you show the output of following form:

(list (asdf:asdf-version)       (lisp-implementation-version)       
(ql:dist-version "quicklisp")       (ql:where-is-system :mcclim))
