While I can't speak for maxima itself, I plan to make the necessary
changes to get maxima to run on cmulisp. In fact, I've just sent
(privately, since I wasn't on this list until just now) a set of
patches (done by Fred Gilham and me) that lets cmulisp run all of the
tests correctly. cmulisp can now also do plotting via the openmath
plotting option.
Also, since gcl runs on far more platforms than cmulisp, I hope gcl
continues so that maxima continues.

P.S. I was trying to rebuild the info files. SpecfunII.texi seems to be
missing....
