Currently, the dependancies for basic calculus are still quite huge.  
There is some intent (work?) to extract the wrappers (expect  
interfaces) from the core library.

An spkg is simply a bzip tar file, so you can do

tar xvjf maxima-5.16.3.spkg

and it will "unzip" the contents of the file. (Not sure how to do  
this from a windows machine, but perhaps changing the extension to  
".tar.bzip2" and double-clicking might work.) All the interfaces are  
in the sage-3.x.y.spkg.
