My code doesn't work, because gcl doesn't understand :wild-inferiors.
I had a hack for that for GCL that basically used find to, but I'd
like to fix it "better".  It seems to me that gcl could use ftw to do
:wild-inferiors on unix.  Don't know if Windows has an equivalent.

I'd also like add ensure-directories-exist for gcl.  That's a major
hinderance with mk-defsys.

If anyone can help me with somehow telling gcl that ftw and mkdir
exist, I can probably make the rest of it work.  (Probably not in time
for the April release, though.)
