Comment:

 Sorry for the delay.  I have now successfully installed the spkg and
 applied the patch (to 4.3.rc0) and everything is working as advertised.

 Question: Why the leading underscore in the method
 {{{_cunningham_prime_factors()}}}?  Like this the function does not show
 up in the reference manual or under normal tab completion, so users will
 not notice its existence.  Since using this is not yet blended in with any
 other integer factorization code, I fear that people will not genefit from
 this as much as they might.

 As far as I can see the spkg itself has everything that it should.  So the
 positive reivew is for BOTH the inclusion of this as an optional spkg AND
 for the merging of the patch.

 Now I'll go on to look at the patch which depends on this one.
