Non-helpful errors on non-unix platforms #70

such usage of #+unix (with absence of #-unix alternative - at least an error) like this causes un-even number of arguments / list members on non-unix platforms, leading to puzzling errors on load :-(

I added an error message that IOlib doesn't work on Windows. For the moment it's all I can do.
