What platform?  

I tried it with gcl 2.4 on Solaris, and gcl dies after
loading sloop or the gcl rsym thingie fails.

Uh oh.  I just made some changes to bessel.lisp for more accurate
bessel functions.  I need to check to see if I screwed it up.  j0 and
jn should still be there.

And, actually, if a missing destructuring-bind is really the problem,
I think we should just add a version for maxima and gcl, and wait until
gcl gets it's own version.  (Should be able to steal one from CMUCL.)
