Do you have to compile it in? My default xemacs doesn't support
bignums. I had to reconfigure and recompile to get this enabled.
But I also noticed that, at least with xemacs, the cl compatibility
package doesn't support in-package. This is probably ok for most of
maxima since everything is in the maxima package except for the
numerical stuff.
It would be kind of interesting to be able to run maxima using elisp,
but I don't really care about that.
