Cygwin has its own clisp-2.48-3 packages installed, almost surely for 
dependencies...

Now the results:

======================================
$ echo "\"`/tmp/clisp/clisp-build/clisp  -q -norc -x '(progn (princ 
*lib-directory*) (values))'`\""
"/tmp/clisp/clisp-build/
"

angelo at pc ~

$ echo "\"`/tmp/clisp/clisp-build/clisp  -q -norc -x '(progn (princ 
*lib-directory*) (values))'`\""
"/tmp/clisp/clisp-build/
"

angelo at pc ~
================================================

In the first case, it looks on two lines (CR or spaces)

Ciao,
Angelo.
