This mechanism you suggested (autoloading via *.mac) also works with GCL and allowed 
me to find a cleaner design for max_ext.lisp. I could use this mechanism for the functions 
from the linearalgebra package as well (there already is linearalgebra.mac, which loads the 
lisp files). 

I have already committed the necessary changes.

Robert,

please include the new file contrib/stringproc/stringproc.mac into the new release candidate, 
as well the fix for max_ext.lisp.

It was more than just one line, so I did it by myself.
