True, to provide NTL functionality for core SAGE objects those should vanish. 
Though, some core SAGE objects might be implemented in Python and call a 
Pyrex class handling NTL for them.  Also libs/ntl could still exist as an NTL 
shell. This is secondary but might come in handy somehow, I don't know.
