I don't think it needs to be delayed. The value of CMU_MAXIMA is the
right one, I think. I didn't test building a cmucl executable though.

IIRC, it had to do with DIRECTORY. It either had to do with directory
not marking subdirectories as such or not being able to get it to
descend into subdirectories. When I looked at it, gcl was basically
running ls in subshell and reading in the data. I tried to do this
myself, but couldn't get that to work either. :-(
The code was checked in at some point, so if you (or I) dig enough,
you can find the original implementation.
