Maxima on Android, available at Google Play (Android market)

Hi Stefano san,

Thanks for your interest and asking me a couple of questions.

- As for symbol stripping, I tried after reading your email, but failed. I will
talke a look into this issue.
- I haven't released the source code to the public. At least for the re-use of
the open source, I am writing how to compile things such as ECL and
Maxima.
Java part (which is actually very small) may be open sourced sometime in
autumn at earliest. Sorry for my laziness.
