Current issues with ECL from git:

 - open-display just hangs, which is kind of a showstopper (reported to
   ECL mailing list)

 - wrappers not tested

 - CLX/ASDF loaded at startup instead of being included into the
   executable

Thanks to ayrnieu in #stumpwm for implementing most of the stuff in
wrappers.lisp.

Have fun,
