Release 0.4plus has improved performance and a lot of new functionality.
Ccing Marshall and William since they are the package maintainers.
Also, it would be good to remove the debian dist directory (see #5903),
clarify the license (see #3043), and separate the clean upstream from the
patches needed to build in Sage (see #3338). The first two of these fixes
are trivial, the last might be a bit trickier.

Comment(by AlexGhitza):
OK, I have replaced the spkg with one that has the small fixes to David's
version. See the ticket description for the URL. This spkg also patches
{{{src/polynomial.cpp}}} to fix a bug that appeared in gfan-0.4plus and
was caught by one of our doctests (YAY for doctests!)
I have also replaced the patch to the Sage library with one that deals
with all the issues raised by the upgrade. All of this is now ready for
review.
