Comment(by GeorgSWeber):

 Let's start to create a "primes.p0.spkg" (better names appreciated ...)
 which provides the "prime_sieve.c" code/functionality as a library.

 Primary goal: The function "primes_interval()" is accessible from a
 dynamic library "libprimes.so" resp. "libprimes.dll", which in turn
 compiles (and works) on the platforms Sage supports, and actually is being
 a part of some future version of Sage.

 Secondary goal: This spkg also provides some precomputed tables (which in
 a Sage installation will be installed under "data/prime_pi_tables/").

 Tertiary goal: Provide the LMO code/functionality from Victor Miller in
 the same way, too.

 I opened up a new ticket for this, #7539. The work on that ticket #7539 is
 more or less an exercise in software engineering, and does hardly
 interfere with the remaining work on this ticket here.
