Fwd: Maxima patches for Scieneer Common Lisp.

I've copied these patch files to the Maxima web site:

http://maxima.sourceforge.net/tmp-scieneer/patch-packages
http://maxima.sourceforge.net/tmp-scieneer/patch-downcase
http://maxima.sourceforge.net/tmp-scieneer/patch-scl

After applying these patches to the Maxima source code
(CVS head), I find that it compiles OK with SBCL 0.9.4
and GCL 2.6.7 (both Linux) and passes the test suite.

Maybe someone else can try out some other Lisp
version. If there aren't any problems compiling and
running on GCL, Clisp, and CMUCL on Linux and
GCL and Clisp on Windows, maybe we can go
ahead and commit these patches.

Hope this helps,
Robert Dodier
