Well, I wonder if we can avoid rebuilding the documentation.
The tar ball contains maxima-index.lisp and .info files, for all
languages. Shouldn't make just skip over the documentation since
it exists already?
I guess character encoding might be a problem. I don't know in what
encoding the .info files are encoded (aside from the ones in the
foo.utf8 directories, which, I guess, are UTF-8), and I don't know what
Windows wants, nor what GCL is capable of.
Thanks very much for working on the Windows release, we all appreciate
it very much.
