There were a string of missing defvars. I just added them to cvs. Even
without the defvars I was able to build and run maxima with no trouble
using cmucl 18d on Linux. Exactly what problems were you seeing and on
which platform?

No, that's the way it is supposed to be for all lisps, at least for the
time being. The info stuff is in the si package, regardless of lisp
implementation. Its a historical oddity that we may change later on.
Again, it shouldn't cause any problems. Did it for you?
