I've attached a patch which resolves to me xmaxima
problems on all systems which I was able to test:
1. Windows XP - new maxima -s PORT scheme works well
2. Windows Me - pure fallback to old GCL dependent scheme
3. clisp, cmucl and gcl on Linux - works well with
maxima -r ":lisp (setup-server PORT)"
I wasn't able to test with sbcl (the version I have has no
socket functions) and with clisp on cygwin - some
path-related problems (xmaxima can't find open intro.html).
There is something strange and "fragile" about 3 above.
Should work like 1 with "maxima -s PORT" but it doesn't.
At least on cmucl and if I get it right from Wolfgang's
posting with sbcl. As for gcl it was bad but now suddenly
it works well. I even don't understand what I've changed and
now can't reproduce the problem.
Any comments?
