CMUCL info reader (was [Maxima] Info reader for Clisp)

Did you ever try using the regexp library directly from glibc (that
many CMUCLs have already linked anyway)? What's good is that the user
won't have to look for regex 0.12 - and you don't have to take care
about relinking regex when you restart a core.

The bad thing is that the regex inside some glibc is broken in the
sense that it chokes when searching for a very simple regex "^L^_" in
one of the info files. I was able to work around doing these few
searches directly in lisp. 

This in turn made me think that maybe one should get rid of the regex
part entirely - any idea how hard that would be?  Getting into the
user interface issue - an alternative path is to beef up some emacs
interface to use emacs' info directly.
