Douglas Crosher has sent me some additional patches to make maxima run
with scl. A quick summary of the patches:
o Some more downcasing fixes that were missed before.
o Changes to configure, etc., to allow --enable-scl so that maxima can
be configured with scl.
o Updates to defsystem.lisp to support scl.
o More package changes mostly to continue the previous package case
changes. Also a few more changes where we were interning uppercase
strings but now use the symbol-name to before interning.
I will test these patches soon with cmucl and clisp, to make sure
nothing obviously bad has happened.
Douglas has also said that he is committed to making sure scl and
maxima work, so I think these changes would be good. I also suspect
this will make allow Allegro's modern (lower-case) mode to work, which
I know Richard Fateman is interested in.

P.S. A bit of history. Many years ago, Douglas supplied a large set
of patches to an early version of maxima that allowed maxima to run on
cmucl. I think this was also a major step in getting maxima to run on
ANSI CLs.
