Okay, it may still need some work, but it seems to be working.
(Not for XEmacs, if there is interest, I'll work on that.)
The version of Dan Dill's mode for Maxima is in the files
emaxima.el
emaxima.sty
maxima.el
maxima-font-lock.el
maxima-symbols.el
located at
ftp://vh213601.truman.edu/pub/Maxima/
The mode (EMaxima, a nice little pun) is basically a notebook
interface for Maxima, with some literate programming capabilities.
A brief intro is in EMIntro.ps, at the above site.

However, EMaxima has the input and the output separate.
For documenting actual sessions, I changed it around a bit, and I
think it does what Barton wanted the LaTeX-preprocessor to do.  The
resulting mode (MaximaDoc) is in
maximadoc.el
maximadoc.sty
maxima.el
maxima-font-lock.el
maxima-symbols.el
There is a brief intro at the top of maximadoc.el

maxima.el, maxima-font-lock.el and maxima-symbols.el are a version of
Bill Schelter's maxima-mode, that I changed quite a bit to make suit
my needs.  
J"urgen Tischer has made significant improvements to it, and now it
may well be worth checking out itself.
