Quite impressive!

I'd say this is worth including, IMHO. I'd say the best place is either right where it is, or maybe in share if it has external requirements we can't easily include with Maxima.
Is the relevant file the one here?
http://www.math.iastate.edu/burkardt/f_src/quadpack/quadpack.html
Does fortran 90 cause problems? (I don't think a free F90 compiler exists for Linux?)
Very nice work!
