There are various things in how the usocket library is packaged that prevent
it from being used in standalone programs with ECL. I summarize them

- A package usocket-system is defined and used in package.lisp. This package
is not needed, as ASDF provides it and when the executable is created it
does not exist.

- Standalone executables do not have ASDF in it. There is no need. Yet
usocket uses it to define a logical hostname which is never used.

- The references to usocket-system propagate to usocket-test.

I attach a patch against the version that quicklisp distributes. With this
patch usocket builds as an independent library without problems and can be
shipped in standalone executables as well.
