I think the easiest way is to modify the maxima script and just put
-dynamic-space-size there, say, before the -quiet option.

I don't think maxima currently has a way of specifying such
implementation-specific options.  It looks like all such extra options
are treated as options to maxima, not the underlying lisp.

Perhaps there should be a way to specify these?
