New description:

 The current implementation of orthogonal polynomials is just a wrapper
 around maxima. (see http://wiki.sagemath.org/symbolics/)
 This update holds the following changes:

   * using of the pynac class for symbolic functions.
   * faster evaluation in general
   * evaluation of special values
   * mpmath for numeric evaluation

 '''Remarks:'''
    * The current patch needs scipy-0.8. One has to install it before
 testing (see #9808 for spkg's and installation instructions)
    * Some of the old doctests in the old file don't work any more, due to
 coercion problems with pynac (see #9769)
    * Some doctests in Sage change, due to the fact that new BuiltIn
 functions are added. symbolic.random_test.py had output changes since the
 random expression creation changed of course. The tests in pynac.pyx also
 changed, but this has a strange behavior (see below).
