Amazing! Seems to work for me on OSX. Just a small correction, it should
read (note the checkout command)
Pkg.clone("https://github.com/tkelman/Sundials.jl";)
Pkg.checkout("Sundials", "bindeps")
Pkg.build("Sundials")
# restart Julia here for good measure
using Sundials
Let's see that we can get this merged soonish ...
Best,
Alex.
