Comment:

 The patch applies fine to 4.3.rc0 after installing the optional spkg at
 #7239 and the patch there, and tests pass.  Good doctests included.

 BUT in both places where _cunningham_prime_factors() is called, a run-time
 error will be raised if the optional database is not installed.  If the
 database is really going to be optional then these calls must be wrapped
 with try/except, otherwise people who have not installed the optional
 package will find lots of their code fails.

 Hence: needs work.
