John, do you want to have a go at fixing Osicat to use
uiop:parse-native-namestring? (Please send a pull request to
<https://github.com/luismbo/osicat>.) Adding regression tests for this
bug, would nice as well.

Faré, is UIOP installable via quicklisp or is it distributed bundled
with ASDF only? I'd like to use PARSE-NATIVE-NAMESTRING without
depending on a specific version of ASDF.

If it isn't, I suppose we have to either (a) depend on a specific
version of ASDF (how is that done?), (b) figure out a way to have UIOP
as an independent library, or (c) import parse-native-namestring into
Osicat.

Cheers,
