It was suggested sometime ago to allow configure to use --with-ccl and
--enable-ccl as equivalent to --with-openmcl and --enable-openmcl, since
ccl is the new name of openmcl. I've done that now, by making
--with-ccl and --enable-ccl be, essentially, aliases of --with-openmcl
and --enable-openmcl.
Similarly, maxima -l ccl is an alias for maxima -l openmcl. Nothing
else is changed and the install directory is still named openmcl.
For acl, Richard Fateman said that Allegro CL Express (aka Allegro CL
free trial) can run all of maxima if you load the slatec and quadpack
routines. I've changed maxima.system so that acl-express just loads the
routines instead of compiling and loading.
There's also a small issue on acl where the prompt is printed strangely
because *print-circle* is T. I've fixed this by binding *print-circle*
to NIL when printing the prompt. Shouldn't affect any other lisp.
If there aren't any objections, I'd like to make these changes before
Robert does the upcoming release.

BTW, although acl appears to work, it crashes quite easily. The
testsuite crashes after the first 6 tests. I don't know if that's a bug
in acl or if the acl heap limit causes the segfault. But these are
independent of the changes I'm proposing.
