More experiments with ASDF 3.1.7 clear the maven error, but now
com.sun.jna.Pointer class not found.  Details below.

Earlier today I was able to load cffi by renaming mvn.cmd to mvn.bat.

Later on, I am unable to, and I would appreciate a fresh pair of eyes.

I did more experiments.  I decided to use with ASDF 3.1.7, for which 
uiop/run-program:run-program runs cleanly (see my other thread
https://mailman.common-lisp.net/pipermail/armedbear-devel/2017-January/003787.html
where I tested by doing '("where" "mvn.bat")).  Now, I don't get a maven
error, which is what I was hoping for by switching to asdf 3.1.7

I cleared the cache, and run asdf with :force t.  I get an error about
com.sun.jna.Pointer class not found when compiling cffi-abcl:

CL-USER(31): (load "c:/mv-program-files/my-lisp-libraries/cffi/src/cffi-abcl.abcl")

The error seems to happen in abcl-cffi.lisp.  
mvn.bat is visible:
(uiop/run-program:run-program '("where" "mvn.bat") :output :string) gives
"C:\\Program Files\\apache-maven-3.3.9\\bin\\mvn.bat
"
NIL
0

I don't know how to narrow down the search for the culprit.  It makes me think
that maybe the error message is not correct - that there is a different underlying 
cause.  Is there some direct way I can test maven+aether?  I now next to nothing
about Java, and looking at abcl-cffi, I did not find anything obvious.

Thanks for your help and patience,
