Comment(by drkirkby):

 A few comments.
  * There appears to be no code for 64-bit builds on systems which don't
 default to 64-bit, but want it. Take a look at spkg-install of the latest
 GSL library for an example how to do it.
  * There's no spkg-check file. It is possible to add one? I note you
 delete the examples, but often those can be used in tests of the package.
  * You appear to copy over configure.ac, but no configure script. Is that
 intentional? Whilst I agree configure.ac is the preferred usage over
 configure.in, I'm not sure its actually worth patching that. I think the
 patch will cause more confusion. If you have actually patched the file,
 then sure, call it configure.ac. But in that case the configure script
 will need to be updated too.
  * Since we don't ship GMP, I think the dependencies should list MPIR
 rather than GMP, or at least have a note like "MPIR (used in Sage instead
 of GMP)"
