As far as I could see, sbcl should do the proper thing without the wrapper,
as the install procedure chooses the proper default sbcl.core file. If not,
the shell script should check for any --core arguments and not include the
default --core parameter if one is found. Otherwise the invocation sbcl
--core somefile will not work as described in the man page. But as I said,
I think it should work without the wrapper.

I installed 5.9.3 manually. By the way, I don't see sbcl mentioned in the
maxima Portfile.
