The mathml support I've been extending was, an Andre said, in pretty
minimal shape. I.e., it did not terribly with simple things, and not
very well at all with anything moderately complex. I'm just guessing
that maxima etc are in similar condition. I.e., that they are more
proof of concept than actual working code. That said, as Andre also
mentioned, it probably wouldn't take much work at all to get them into
a lot better shape. Basically, there are a bunch of
InsetMath*::maxima(), InsetMath*::octave, etc, routines that do the
work of translating LyX's math insets into "external" formats, via the
MathExtern class, and much of the work will consist in simply cleaning
these up. To get more sophisticated features, you *might* have to
introduce new material. But I don't know enough about CAS to know.
The other thing that will need doing, by the way, which is also very
simple, really, is to make configure.py detect the installed programs,
and then to disable the ones that aren't installed. Right now, you get
them all, no matter what.
