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.
Depends on: #10766, #10773, #10743. #10818 desirable but not essential.

Comment:
I rebased the patches against sage 4.7.alpha3.
I could run make ptestlong yet because upgrade from 4.6.2 failed (givaro
problem) and the binary provided for 4.7.alpha3 would not run (some
liblapack problem).
However it should apply cleanly.
I'm building 4.7.alpha3 from source and will test when finished.
