This old port works well on Windows Mobile 2003 SE.
It is not useless due to Windows CE/Mobile resources
limitations.  You can easily compute expand((x+y+z)^100)
for maybe one minute or so - it's pretty long expression.
The real trouble is that Maxima runs in it's own small
console window (Windows CE/Mobile don't have built-in console)
which doesn't have vertical scroll.  So you are able to see just
last 15-20 lines of output.  It render this port of Maxima
practically useless.
