Now I remember. I take back the part about being able to just copy
over all the source to /usr/local. Unfortunately, maxima has
hardcoded paths in the binary to the place where it was compiled
and it would take some scrounging around in some very old baroque
non-ansi lisp code to make it look both in /usr/local and
/usr/ports/math/maxima.
If macsyma isn't legacy code, I don't know what is.
