Comment:

 Using Maxima 5.20.1 with Sage 4.3.alpha1:
 {{{
 sage: exp(-x*i).integral(x,0,1)
 I*e^(-I) - I
 }}}
 So if that is mathematically correct, sounds like it's fixed.  The
 following link
 [http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=integrate+e%5E%28-x*I%29+from+0+to+1]
 indicates it is, as well as just using the FTC.  Now we just need the spkg
 and to put a doctest here.

 See #7748 for getting a symbolic incomplete gamma, which we would also
 need regardless of that.
