An embarassingly long time ago.... mea culpa.

Acually the question was raised before the current debugging cycle
(which has eaten all my free time). The issue is related to getting
Axiom to run on GCL 2.5 (or any current common lisp that requires
make-package before in-package). Making the packages and saving
them into a lisp image is a kludge that would be interesting for a
hand experiment. It would allow you to try to build a system, get
around the in-package bug and move on to the next bug/issue. 

Unfortunately, until I fix the algebra I have no time to look at GCL 2.5
