 I fixed a bug in mwrank reported by William Stein and Jen Balakrishnan.
 Before:
 {{{
 sage: "Warning" in mwrank("[0, 0, 0, -532, -4374]")
 True
 }}}
 and
 {{{
 sage: E.rank()
 !!! n3 = 5 not a power of 2, rounding up to 8
 Unable to compute the rank with certainty (lower bound=1).
 This could be because Sha(E/Q)[2] is nontrivial.
 Try calling something like two_descent(second_limit=13) on the
 curve then trying this command again.  You could also try rank
 with only_use_mwrank=False.
 ...
 RuntimeError: Rank not provably correct.
 }}}

 I have made a new eclib release and will post a patch/branch and a link to
 the new source shortly.
