If the goal is to get something one can invoke from the shell or xinitrc, I
use cl-launch[0] plus the following script. You would have have to place
StumpWM sources somewhere where ASDF can find them and and copy the
following script (maybe change the Q arg to +Q so that it doesn't try to
fetch StumpWM from quicklisp).
```stumpwm-loader
#!/usr/bin/cl -Q -sp stumpwm -E main
(defun main (argv)
(if argv
(stumpwm (elt argv 0))
(stumpwm)))
```
