Thanks for the patch!

This might be fine, but may you please explain what would be the purpose
of customizing each of these options?
IMHO, in their current state, if a user mindlessly customizes these
options without knowing how ob-maxima internals work, ob-maxima may
simply be broken. It is also not very clear what would be the benefit
customizing any of the proposed options.
As a general rule, we do not expose internal details that are _required_
for things to work to users. In the above,
`org-babel-maxima-default-epilogue' appears to be paired with
`org-babel-maxima-graphic-file-format-string' and may need to be changed
depending on its value. Also, I am not sure if removing --very-quiet may
not affect :results output.
