In src/mathed/math_extern.C

Sorry, this area is still "under construction" and structure changes
rapidly so I don't think it is worthwhile to do much documentation.

Basically, if you call 'math-extern maple foo' LyX tries to convert the
formula into maple syntax, wraps a 'latex(foo(...))' around the result,
calls 'maple -q' on that and tries to parse the result. This is far from
being usable, thouh.

Mma 'yes', and octave instead of matlab...
