spkg; needs work] make qasm an optional spkg
Comment:
This ticket needs work in several areas:
* SPKG.txt is not up to current standards, see
http://wiki.sagemath.org/spkgTemplate
* spkg-install is not up to current standards, see
http://wiki.sagemath.org/SPKG_Audit resp. trac ticket #633 --- adding a
check for SAGE_LOCAL to be non-empty is a blocker IMHO
* The spkg-install says:
{{{
echo "You must make sure the dvipng program is available on your
system."
echo "You might be able to install the dvipng program listed in the"
echo "output of 'sage -optional'. If that doesn't work, just use
whatever"
echo "is offered by your operating system."
exit 1
}}}
but in the discussion on sage-devel (link above) it is said:
{{{
Do not install that dvipng spkg. You *MUST* install dvipng instead
using whatever method your operating system provides (e.g., rpm, deb,
etc.). It's a completely standard linux program. The Sage dvipng
spkg will be deleted soon, since it doesn't make sense for us to be
hosting it.

}}}
* (optional) the qasm.py would benefit from a doctest, the addition of
some kind of example could easily be turned into a working spkg-check
script
