Hi,

Running the unittests in cantor I found that maxima is not honouring the
*prompt-prefix* and *prompt-suffix* as are set by cantor (and documented in
maxima's doc/implementation/external-interface.txt).

cantor uses /usr/share/kde4/apps/cantor/maximabackend/cantor-initmaxima.lisp
to initialize it, and expects them to notice requests of additional
information, such as when evaluating: integrate(x^n,x)

Running cantor, a "sort of" nice way to read the dialog between them is to
use:
strace -vfo /tmp/cantor_maxima.strace -s 1024 -e write cantor --backend maxima

I've noticed that the git version of maxima has a number of changes around
format-prompt and such, but I could not get it to compile to test it.

Thanks,
