Well... Probably that it would be cool if they could try to test and
debug it under Mac OS X (seems like it aways fails on this
architecture), for there are known bugs and that their code returns
wrong results on this platform. I don't exactly know how to make them
understand that this is important O_o

Someone with a mac. Someone who preferably knows french, as the all
comments are in french.

I have to day that I am a bit pessimistic. The code has been in Sage's
source tree for years already :-/
