Maxima doesn't link against this library, it uses clisp' capability of
dumping an executable that has the application pre-loaded.  In fact, if
you simply start the resulting EXE (not through the maxima wrapper)
you'll be greeted by a CLisp prompt.

I have a workaround for maxima and building and testing the package as
we speak.  We can test the new clisp packaging more thoroughly later on.
