Heh. Ok. I will add some documentation.
I think the names will be the LAPACK names, to make it easier to
figure out what functions do what. Hopefully, someone who actually
uses these routines will either come up with a better interface or a
better name.
Could you file a bug report that the lapack routines are not
documented?

Yes, the Fortran code is converted to Lisp via f2cl. This is done
just once and the Lisp code is checked in. I guess we do it this way
so that maxima doesn't need to have f2cl. The defsystem files that
perform the actual conversion is, however, checked in, so the Lisp
files can be recreated at anytime.
