Oh, it used to work to some extent, see, e.g.

http://www.math.utexas.edu/pipermail/maxima/2003/004142.html

However, I haven't updated it after the LISP -> CL package changes,
and there are probably also some SLOOPisms.  I'll look at it.

`Symmetries' is probably not seriously broken.  Some time ago M. Rubey
sent some changes and examples (I also have a bunch of trivial
changes).  It seems that there's also an English translation of the
docs available.  See
