Progress - I got CFFI to load.  I had to copy mvn.cmd to mvn.bat.

I think that closes this issue for me.

But I am not sure how to generate a fix for other users.  Who should know about mvn.cmd vs 
mvn.bat?

It looks as if ABCL can't find the Maven exectuable, as maybe it has a
different notion of the Windows System PATH.

Two ideas:

1)  Figure out why ABCL can't find Maven:


    CL-USER> (uiop/run-program:run-program "where.exe mvn.bat" :output
:string)






 
2) Set ABCL-ASDF:*MVN-LIBS-DIRECTORY* to the location of the Maven jar
files.
