OK, so far things are going pretty well but I have a couple of
questions.

1) I started moving desolvers.py into SAGEHOME/devel/sage-main/build/
sage/calculus/.  Is this the appropriate place?

2) You use "Integer(i)" instead of just "i", which seems unnecessary.
I changed all of these, but I am wondering why they were as they were.

If this package should be part of the symbolic calculus stuff, I
assume I should try to harmonize the style of the function arguments.

Cheers,
Marshall Hampton
