Maxima under CCL is interesting. It is rather fast and has threads.
Compiling maxima was done very fast.
However, I have a problem with windows paths: I couldn't run the
testsuite, because Maxima failed to find the file. I couldn't load share
files either. Barton, did you encounter this problem too? I used the
released 32bit-version 1.3 of ccl under vista.
