New description:
With maxima-as-an-ecl-library and ecl accessible as a library, we can
start interfacing with maxima via a binary library interface. This should
be more efficient and more robust, because expressions can be transmitted
in a much richer format than text and parsing does not have to recognise
error messages and questions (since communication does not go via
STDIN/STDOUT anymore).
Applies cleanly to 4.6.2.
This ticket is dependent on #10766, #10773, #10743. Ticket #10818 is
desirable but not essential. Apply:

Comment:
We now have 100% ((really) basic (and stupid)) doctests coverage.
I also fixed some minor issues here and there.
What could be postponed to later tickets:
* better doctests
* better error handling
* better conversions between maxima and sr
* reorganize the code in maxima_lib to make it clearer
