A sturdy Maxima package system might be a good first step. For functions defined in both
Maxima and GSL (for example, the gamma function), a package system would allow a user
to easily switch between the Maxima and the GSL gamma function. There is Robert's
share/namespace code.
By the way: Under Windows XP, CCL (aka OpenMCL, Clozure) runs the testsuite in about
about 400 seconds, and SBCL in about 200 seconds; however, SBCL under windows is experimental.
