I didn't found FOREIGN-CALL-OUT in the documentation of CFFI. With
http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/tarballs/cffi-051229.tar.gz and
http://www.frank-buss.de/lisp/clisp-gui.zip from
http://www.frank-buss.de/lisp/clisp.html I can use this message.lisp (you
have to install ASDF, first) :

(load "c:\\data\\projects\\asdf\\asdf.lisp")
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :cffi)
(use-package "CFFI")
(cffi:load-foreign-library "user32.dll")

(cffi:defcfun "MessageBoxA" :int
  (hwnd :int)
  (text :string)
  (capt :string)
  (type :int))

(defun main()
  (MessageBoxA 0 "Hello World!" "Message" 0)
  (quit))

Calling "deliver.cmd" then, it generates a nice working exe file (but
zipped about 100k larger) :
