A lot of this is me being lazy and not submitting out fixes upstream. The
development model right now is that I patch whatever I deem necessary for
libsingular to work (e.g. include more header files etc.) and my changes are
then reviewed and (when accepted) applied upstream. This long list indicates,
that I should submit a batch of patches again.
