It would be much nicer if maxima knew how to handle documentation
provided in share packages so that they don't have to be a part of the
core maxima documentation. I'm thinking of how xemacs (and emacs?)
handles info files. xemacs looks at the info directories and builds up
the info dynamically. Hence, add-on packages can do whatever they want
and xemacs recognizes them and integrates it into the info reader as if
it were a part of the xemacs distribution.
This would allow the package writers to keep documentation up-to-date
without developers having to spend time integrating said documentation
into maxima itself.

I think the dem files are kind of nice to show off what the package can do.
