Okay, I have it working with XEmacs, I think.
You'll need the newer maxima.el and maxima-font-lock-xemacs.el
at
ftp://vh213601.truman.edu/pub/Maxima
(With Emacs, the newer maxima.el needs the newer maxima-font-lock.el,
by the way.)

I needed to change the font-locking a bit, since XEmacs has fewer
font-lock-*-face's built in.  Rather than use fewer faces in Emacs, I
just made a new font-lock file for XEmacs.  I'll probably combine the
two in the near future, but this is a quick fix.
Also, font-locking acted a bit strange for me when I tried it, I need
to fix it a bit more, and it may be better for now to leave it off.

The other thing I needed to change was the process filter.  Emacs and
XEmacs handle processes (or rather the comint frontends handle
processes) a bit different.  So the quick fix was to use a simpler
filter for XEmacs.  The only difference will be in the debugging, the
Emacs version has dbl built into it, it won't work in XEmacs.
I seem to recall someone saying that the dbl debugging depends on GCL,
and since it isn't clear that GCL will remain the standard underlying
lisp, I probably won't worry about fixing this.  (Unless someone
really wants it...)
