I'm in favor of applying this patch, with some minor changes,
namely to make the options --init-mac and --init-lisp instead of
--initmac and --initlisp, to spell out "initialization" instead of "init"
in the written documentation, to capitalize Lisp and Maxima
where they occur as proper nouns, and make some changes
of the wording in hope of greater clarity.

If nobody is opposed, I'll apply the patch with those changes.
Thanks to Leo for doing the work.
