Either is fine with me. I'll need to rework slightly minpack.system
and lapack.system which are currently putting the results
in*maxima-objdir*/share/minpack/binary-foo. With teither option, I
guess that would be *maxima-objdir*/minpack. Works for me.
Also, I'm wondering if maxima-local should set MAXIMA_OBJDIR to be
somewhere in the source tree. For someone that has both an installed
release and a CVS version, it's probably not a good idea to destroy the
fasls in *maxima-objdir* built with the release with new stuff from CVS.
