why is load(lapack)$ so verbose?

It's probably compiling lapack.  I guess we can suppress this, but for 
Lisp's with somewhat slow compilers like cmucl, it's kind of nice to see 
that it's doing something.  It takes about 15 minutes to compile on a 
1.5 GHz machine.  15 minutes without any output would probably cause 
people to think maxima's hung, and kill it.
