well the AXIOMsys build works perfectly but the axiom command
fails because sman (and therefore clef, hyperdoc, and graphics)
won't start. i'll debug that problem but it is almost certainly
related to the socket code we add to gcl.

also, how do we handle the fact that users can build gcl using the
-ansi switch. that means that their local copy of gcl cannot be used
by axiom (yet).
