constants, simplification, numerical evaluation



My /src and /tests files differ somewhat from CVS Maxima, but I built
Maxima
using SBCL 1.0.13 and

(defmfun simplifya (x y)
  (cond ((atom x) x) ;; (cond ((and (eq x '$%pi) $numer) %pi-val) (t x)))
 ((not $simp) x)
 ((atom (car x))
   ...)

The testsuite ran the same after this change, I think. Maybe we should
make this change this before midnight (it's Pi Day 3-14 :)
