Comment:

 I've spent as long on this as I am able to for a while, so I thought I'd
 post what I have got.

 Note, that since 1.12 has never been merged into sage, this should be
 called 1.12 and not 1.12.p0, 1.12.p1 or similar. There's noting wrong with
 people adding a temporary letter or patch level if they want, but when its
 finally merged, it should not have all these temporary builds.

 I've created a package which builds on Solaris, but it fails all self-
 tests on Solaris.

 http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/patches/cvxopt-1.1.2.spkg

 It builds on Linux, but fails about half the self-tests on Linux.

 To run the self-tests, type

 {{{
 $ export SAGE_CHECK=yes
 $ ./sage -i
 http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/patches/cvxopt-1.1.2.spkg
 }}}

 I've not committed any changes.

 I'm not sure what to make of this. I don't feel this is ready, given the
 high failure rate of the self-tests.

 Dave
