New description:

 At Sage Days 20.25 in Montreal, we have decided to submit an initial
 version of the Siegel modular forms code by Friday 16 April 2010.

 It's now a few minutes before midnight, and lest I turn into a pumpkin, I
 am uploading a patch with what we have so far.

 I'm marking it as "needs work" since there are still a number of issues to
 be resolved.  I'll list these in the comments soon.

 To clarify: I submitted this just before midnight Seattle time, so one
 could argue that it was before the deadline :)

 The patch applies cleanly to sage-4.4.3 and sage-4.4.4.alpha0, and passes
 all tests.  The doctest coverage is 98.8% (81 out of 82 functions).  The
 patch will not work with earlier versions of Sage since it depends on
 patches at #8602 and #8681 which have now been  merged.

 I believe that the objective of this first submission is to have something
 that works perfectly in the case of scalar-valued forms on {{{Sp(4,Z)}}}.
 Here are the issues that I am aware of and are still blocking this:

  1. We need top-level documentation in {{{siegel_modular_form.py}}} that
 explains in detail how the code is meant to be used, what the interesting
 features are, etc.  We also need to explain how precisions work (either in
 the main file or in {{{siegel_modular_form_prec.py}}}
  1. The computation of the generators for {{{weights='all'}}} breaks at
 the fifth generator
  1. The argument {{{degree}}} in {{{_siegel_modular_forms_generators}}}
 should be properly documented, and there should be a doctest for it (I
 don't like the name "degree" BTW, because it already has a meaning for
 Siegel modular forms)
  1. The argument {{{default_prec}}} in {{{SiegelModularFormsAlgebra}}}
 should be documented
  1. There are a few docstrings left that are not valid ReST, and there is
 one error while building the documentation
  1. We should put copyright headers in all the source files in the
 directory.

 If you want to add to or modify these, please feel free to do this by
