Sorry about that. I'm pretty sure I didn't change that; I only changed
the part that computed the list affine, algebra/charsets,
algebra/solver, etc. The format of that didn't change from the previous
version.
And doesn't the prefix /usr/local/share come from the variable
maxima-prefix? I didn't change that either.
I will see if I can get a windows box to try this.
