New description:
An implementation of Mestre's algorithm for reconstructing genus 2
hyperelliptic curves from their invariants.
This is limited to fields of characteristic not 2, 3, 5 and to curves with
automorphism group generated by the hyperelliptic involution. Curve
equations are not reduced, hence are unusably large over QQ, but see
below.
That's it. Various other tickets deal with extensions:
* #14755 reduces the discriminant of the hyperelliptic curve (essential
for getting usable models over number fields)
* #14756 reduces the hyperelliptic curve equation once the discriminant is
minimal (also essential for getting usable models over number fields).
* #12199 treats the case of larger automorphism groups
* #12200 is about characteristic 2, 3, 5
Apply [attachment:6341-mestre-only.patch].

Comment (by mstreng):
I separated off the (huge) reduction code from this simple functionality.
Hopefully that helps in finishing this ticket.
