Comment:

 Even with #11483, this isn't working right.  It should, though - see
 Barton's post at the Maxima ticket:
 {{{
 By the way:

 (%i4) load(abs_integrate)$

 Correct antiderivative:

 (%i5) 'integrate(x*signum(x^2-1/4),x);
 (%o5) abs(x^2-1/4)/2

 Correct definite integral

 (%i6) 'integrate(x*signum(x^2-1/4),x,-1,0);
 (%o6) -1/4
 }}}
 so I'm not sure why this is still returning the "wrong" thing.  Probably
 something about the integration code...
