plot.o (was RE: [Maxima] Updated PC port)

I see this as an problem in the user code in 
http://www.ma.utexas.edu/users/wfs/courses/
as it can only work with a gcl compiled maxima.

I copied down the ode examples.  Editing chaos.mac.
and changing load("plot.o") to load("plot") solves
the problem on a PC.

ISSUE 4

When trying to execute code at:

http://www.ma.utexas.edu/users/wfs/courses/408c/riemansum.html

I get:

---------------------------------------
(D1)       critical_points(EXPR, VAR) := BLOCK([NUMER : TRUE, f : DIFF(EXPR,
VAR)], REALROOTS(NUM(f) DENOM(f), 10   ))
(C2)
Could not find `plot.o' using paths in FILE_SEARCH_MAXIMA,FILE_SEARCH_LISP

 -- an error.  Quitting.  To debug this try DEBUGMODE(TRUE);)
(C3)
--------------------------------------------

"plot.lsp" is present in the tree at "g:/maxm/share/maxima/5.90rc1/src", but
"plot.o" is not.  This may be a result of the mixed forward/back slashes in
the path, but most programs seem to be able to handle this these days so it
may be some other thing.

ISSUE 5.

"Ctrl-c" actually results in a cut rather than a copy, when used in the
XMaxima window.  ("^x" in fact also does just that, as it should.)
