Hmm. share-subdirs.lisp is created by configure from
share-subdirs.lisp.in. This is obviously broken if you don't use
configure.
And if you build without running bootstrap/configure/make, you are
missing all of the info files. My memory is not so good, so I have to
use help all the time.
Is this supposed to be a supported way of building maxima? We could
checkin a version of share-subdirs.lisp but that will likely get out of
date.
I would prefer not supporting this method of building maxima.
