By default, maxima built with clisp installs and uses its own local copy 
of the clisp executable used to build maxima.  We did this to break the 
dependency on the installed version of clisp.   I know you elected not 
to this for the cygwin port, but it might be time to reconsider.

Thanks for the suggestion.  The clisp rebuild happened due to libsegv
finally becoming available and I don't expect a flurry of further clisp
rebuilds or updates, so I think we're still fine.  Once I get some more
kinks in the build system ironed out I might consider giving the user a
way to rebuild the memory image for maxima, which is the only thing that
really needed to be updated going from -2 to -3.

Achim.
