I think further improvements to the Singular package should be made on
another ticket (cf. sage-devel thread [http://groups.google.com/group
/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/fbf5b7f781c3f523# "Is flex needed to
build Sage"]).
Built Sage 4.4.3 with the updated spkg from scratch on a 32-bit Linux; all
doctests passed (see sage-release).
I though have some minor changes to {{{SPKG.txt}}} (typo) and {{{spkg-
install}}} I'll upload later (i.e. I haven't prepared a patch yet).
After passing other sanity checks I've not yet done I'll give it a
positive review; 4.4.4.alpha0 is out now though, but I hope it will make
it into alpha1.
