Hmm, it looks like we have another GCL problem.

Just using '(directory "*.NRLIB")' will not work: you need to add
'index.KAF' part. Basically, you would need to use the old
version of code. But the old version was not portable between Lisp
implementations: some Lisps want '(directory "*.NRLIB/")' (with
final slash) and the results also vary widely. Since we do want
to access 'index.KAF' file in the '.NRLIB' directory the
version '(directory "*.NRLIB/index.KAF")' exactly matches our
intent. IMHO Windows version of GCL should also support such
names.
