Yes. At startup just look for all subdirectories and create the
search list appropriately.

It's not really a big deal, but it just means one less thing that
needs to be manually maintained. I just think that's a good thing. I
suppose it could even be done via configure or something, as long as
it's automatic.
It's also easily extended. Say we have a contrib directory. People
could place random things there and maxima would know to search the
new directory.
