[Openmcl-devel] Hi from new user

Try doing that from C:, if you can't you can hardlink c:\ccl to d:\ccl 
(this is what I do).

There was some post where you can fix this using an environment 
variable, but I can't find the post (it might've been on any of the 
lisp.mcl.* or lisp.openmcl.*)

I don't think ClozureCL recognizes the drive letter yet (I wish there 
was no such thing as drive letter at first place).
