So more items:

5) Apply fix for slatec - sbcl problem.

6) Some small Windows port fixes - userdir for console maxima.
Do we need to change something for integration with WinTeXmacs?

7) Finish first sweep of Maxima documentation revision.
Replace all defun/defvar with deffn/defvr everywhere.

8) Fix describe.

About 8:  With new Maxima manual conventions describe
seems to be broken.  It is a bit strange since it worked
well to me on some test examples.  Anyway I don't think
it is hard problem.
