I'd like to say strongly demanded. There are to much libraries out there 
valuable to use in Axiom. 

I did some trials loading shared libraries in underlying gcl, wrapping C lib 
calls in lisp, and wrapping the lisp functions in Aldor.
Well, it worked for functions with simple parameters lists, yet I got lost 
in Lisp wrapping due to a deeper understanding of how to convert between 
more complex Aldor/Axiom, Lisp, and C data types like lists, vectors, 
matrices.
Furthermore, this approach depends on gcl (on the other hand, gcl does not 
yet support the lisp foreign function interface)
