Nice post, I've used Maxima for symbolic calculations since 2000 and I can say it was a great help during my student life :).
Since Maxima is based on Common Lisp, I think it will be an interesting application to translate directly, using a Lisp macro for example, the Fortran output generated by Maxima to a Matlab compatible expression. Not sure how easy it will be to implement this functionality, but sure it will be a nice addition to Maxima.
