Subject: first MPFI packages ready
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2007 11:19:15 -0800

I've put a Mercurial patch bundle and an MPFI spkg in my home directory
on sage.math (these are the only two files in the directory so far).

Caveats: it's only been tested on one machine (my laptop, Debian Linux
32-bit Pentium M).  The pyx file so far only supports the intersection
of the functions supported by MPFR and MPFI, plus lower() and upper()
methods; it does not support interval-specific functionality other than
lower() and upper().  I haven't thought about or tested the comparison
functionality (I'm guessing, based on reading mpfi.info, that it will
always claim that overlapping intervals are equal, but I haven't even
confirmed that).

But it does work, it mostly has doctests (there were a few functions
 from real_mpfr.pyx that didn't, and I didn't add doctests), and all the
doctests pass and seem reasonable.  IMHO, it's ready to check in.

BTW, I did go with "field" rather than "ring".
