Maxima does not enforce any packaging requirements, for
better or worse, so creating a new package is pretty
simple. You already have figured it out: create a new folder,
copy files there, add folder to file_search_maxima and/or
file_search_lisp.
The new folder can be anywhere on the system -- under
the main Maxima folder, in a system folder, or in a user
folder. By convention, packages distributed with Maxima
are in the maxima/share folder.
Hope this helps,
Robert Dodier
