The maxima version is the current cvs. But invert.lisp hasn't changed
since 2000/05/08. The gcl I was using says 2.7.0, which was some CVS
build I did some time ago. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to
compile a gcl for myself in ages. :-( Always dies in some gmp
routine. I apologize for not reporting these issues.
