Comment (by nbruin):

 This code is absolutely state-of-the-art for what it does and it would be
 a shame to not have it available in sage, at least on platforms where it
 works (which is by far the most common platform presently!).

 I agree that installation should work on all platforms sage supports, but
 that installation could consist of installing a routine that successfully
 tells "I'm not available on this platform". Correct usage of the library
 could then include "first check if it's available" and provide an
 alternative (via gp for some things perhaps) if it's not.

 This is not so different from, say, the Magma interface, which is part of
 sage but only does something useful when Magma is actually available.
