It would be great. I like maxima's ascii art and I find it very
comfortable to copy and paste maxima output to any simple text editor.
In any case, your program is great and avoids some problems regarding
xmaxima and firewalls.
On the other hand, the inclusion of wxmaxima in the main project makes
maxima increase the number of dependencies to build the system. But we
could benefit of the wxwidgets dependency, for example for interactive
graphics. I'm not an expert in this field, but it seems to me that
wxwidgets is a better graphical environment than tcl-tk.
By the way, there is a sourceforge project
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxcl
to create Common Lisp bindings to the wxWidgets API.
