Dang. I forgot to make it go into binary-<lisp>. I'll fix that. But
currently, it will go into maxima_userdir right now. If you want it to
go somewhere else, you have to set maxima_objdir to the place you want.
(Or set the environment variable MAXIMA_OBJDIR.)

There shouldn't be any collisions with the default value for
maxima_objdir. That also means no sharing, by default, either.
