No need to recompile anything, editing tm_maxima is enough.
Also, it should be possible to simplify texmacs.lisp, because many changes
were incorporated into mactex.lisp. But the interface still has a lot of
problems. The main problem is: how to recognize prompts? Especially the
break prompt (MAXIMA>> in gcl) and the prompt generated by info (or was it
help, or describe? don't remember). They are produced by the underlying
Lisp, and different for different Lisps. I suppose, other interfaces,
e.g., Emaxima, have solved these problems somehow.
I'm waiting for 5.9 to appear. Then, I'll change tm_maxima and
texmacs.lisp in the TeXmacs distribution, and I'll try to incorporate
useful bits and ideas from Emaxima. But after that moment, nobody will be
able to call maxima-5.6 (or 5.5) from TeXmacs.

No idea. Is it really important?
