First of all, we probably have to ask opinion of
current imaxima developer and maintainer Yasuaki Honda.

Secondly - imaxima relies on breqn.sty of
unknown license.

As for .elc files - I don't see any need to distribute
.elc files.  I'm not 100% sure that they are the same
for different emacs versions. Compile or not
emacs lisp files is the question of local installation
not the question of distribution.  In any case we
can add optional .el compilation in Maxima
automake/autoconf machinery.  Maybe the right
strategy should be: if configure finds emacs then
compile and install .elc with option to turn this
off.
