Under GCL the extra \ character is not generated but under Clisp
with the version of Maxima on the DoyenCD an additional test is
required to correct this weird behaviour of names in Maxima.

So finally, here's a hack that should work on both GCL and Clisp:

Please give this a try in Doyen together with the patch in my
previous email for 'ReplaceInlineMaxima.py'.
