Building maxima under windows



Following up on yesterday's post, I can report limited success with maxima
under windows.

Last night I:
 * built clisp-2.27 under using cygwin
 * built console version of CVS maxima using clisp
 * ran maxima testsuite with perfect results

Prior to this, I tried to build maxima using the win32 binary of clisp-2.27
from  http://clisp.cons.org/.  This failed when clisp went into an infinite
loop compiling one of the maxima files.

I will rebuild everything from scratch to work out the minimal set of
changes, and report back.
