the 3.1.7 release candidate now passes all tests on Mac and Linux, for me at least.

UIOP does not seem able to detect cygwin -- it has code that looks like uiop:os-unix-p should return t when cygwin is running, but that code seems not to work. It looks for a :CYGWIN feature which is not present, at least not under SBCL. I can see that uname -o returns "Cygwin", but can't run that from inside SBCL -- catch 22.

I believe that code only detects if the lisp host was linked with cygwin, which makes sense because then the lisp host will think that it is running on a posix system. If the lisp host is linked as a native windows executable, then using windows style pathnames is correct
