This is patch to current CVS Maxima defsystem.lisp
which resolves trouble with Mingw GCL.

Basically it restores one line conditional

#+:gcl(abs-name (file-namestring abs-dir))
#-:gcl(abs-name (ignore-errors (file-namestring abs-dir)))

This conditional can be found in older defsystem and
later was replaced by mere

(abs-name (ignore-errors (file-namestring abs-dir)))

So it seems that there is some bug in ignore-errors
in Mingw GCL.
