Summary: maxima-help does not find help topics

Initial Comment:
maxima-help often barfs or finds the wrong topics.
The problem is that maxima-get-info-on-subject uses
a hacked solution to finding topics via the index of
functions and variables. Octave's help uses the
elisp function Info-menu which works *much* more
reliably.
