I apologize in advance that my very first Sage trac ticket is a huge
wishlist item.
I would be interested in a Sage package for CGAL, the Computational
Geometry Algorithms Library. http://www.cgal.org/index.html
It is a huge package. My main interest, right now, comes from a need for
fast data structures for polyhedral complexes in low dimension / piecewise
linear functions in several variables.
By a web search, I found that in 2009, there was intermittent interest in
making such a Sage package. [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-

One of the concerns at the time apparently was CGAL's licensing. However,
CGAL has changed its licensing terms since then; it now appears to be
released under some combination of GPL and LGPL, version 3 or later.

There also was some interest in this topic in 2013:

I do not know if there were any outcomes.
