Yes, I agree that Allegro is irrelevant to distributing a complete pre-built
Maxima system, however, I am happy that Maxima runs on a wide variety of
Lisps, including professionally maintained proprietary software.
I also find it interesting to learn what issues Fateman encounted in using
Allegro's FFI, as his experience may help us avoid the same problems on
other implementations.
