Odepack is an excellent package. It would be really useful if we could use
it in Maxima, but a simplifying interface would also be needed, as Odepack
subroutines accept a big amount of arguments, but many of them can be set
automatically, so the user doesn't need to bother about them. Interface
should also provide optional arguments for full functionality. I am very
familiar with Odepack and I think I can implement the interfacing function,
if needed.
