[PATCH] Installing and loading new contrib packages



I've said it before, /src/set.lisp should be deleted; nset.lisp that is 
now in share/contrib/nset.lisp is
better designed and tested.  I'd also suggest that the nset documentation 
be appended to the main 
documentation so that it is available through describe.

I vote to install it as soon as possible ;-). Actually, I prefer to use 
nset 
instead functions in set package. Some functions from set, e.g. 
intersection 
don't work. 
(C1) (l1:[a,b],l2:[b,c]);
(D1)                                [b, c]
(C2) intersection(l1,l2);
(D2)                                [b, c]
(C3) load(nset);
(D3)      /usr/local/share/maxima/5.9.0.1cvs/share/contrib/nset.lisp
(C4) intersect(l1,l2);
(D4)                                  {b}
