OK for me.

No, please don't touch fricas.el.

There is a good reason to have fricas*.el in your own directory, namely, when
you use emacs a lot, but you do not have admin rights.  If fricas*.el lives
elsewhere, you will have to adapt your load-path, if you want to use it without
efricas.

fricas.el should be backwards compatible.  Currently, I do not care too much
about that, since there are hardly any users.  However, the design is such that
one can use older fricas.el also with newer fricas - possibly also the other
way round.  (there are only few markers which are absolutely crucial: I think
prompt and readline.)
