Lispworks doesn't support '--load' command line arg

[adamweaver]

Although LW doesn’t have a canonical console application name, LW documentation suggests lw-console

[haz]

So it still needs the swank-script passed in as an argument, but just doesn't work with the --load?

Another way to deal with this is to not pass arguments to the Lisp on the command line at all, but instead send the necessary init forms to the Lisp's stdin. SLIME's standard init forms (slime-init-command) use only code defined in the spec so should work regardless of which Lisp is used.

@haz, LW (annoyingly) uses '-load' (single dash) instead
