Compiling error with VEQ on Windows 10

[glanham-jr]

I wanted to report an issue when trying to compile this package on Windows 10 and SBCL version 2.3. Not sure if this is a windows specific issue with the VEQ package or if VEQ made changes not compatible with this project.

This is the line that is failing

you have to use a local version of the master branch of cl-veq (https://github.com/inconvergent/cl-veq).

overriding the quicklisp version with a local version is described here https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/faq.html
