Excellent news! Sorry to be slow responding, I just got back
from vacation. We're currently locked down pending
a release, so I don't have the authority to upload the code to
CVS by myself, but I think it is safe to say we are interested in
including it. How does the list (especially Jim as project
leader) feel about it? Should it wait to post 5.9.1 to include it?

One question - would be be able to adapt the documentation
of the package in the paper for inclusion in the Maxima system
documentation? I know sometimes there are legal restrictions
on papers.
