Yes, relative to the "current working directory", but this is a process
property (Windows, Unix...). Common Lisp has a separate notion, which is the
*default-pathname-defaults*, that is independent of that. This is what
causes problems, because if *default-pathname-defaults* is changed that does
not mean that the compiler is going to be launched relative to it -- well,
that was until my latest fix: now ECL has a look first at *d-p-d* and if it
is a valid directory, it launches the compiler there.
