New description:
PARI version 2.4.4 (see #11130, now aiming at 2.5.0) no longer has an
`allocatemoremem()` function, which `lcalc` uses. There is a function
`allocatemem()` which can be used instead.
New spkg:
[http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jdemeyer/spkg/lcalc-1.23.p8.spkg]
(this will only build after installing the PARI spkg from #11130).
The second reviewer patch removes the requirement for a PARI >= 2.4.4
spkg, i.e. with that applied it will build with our current ones as well.

Comment(by leif):
A second reviewer patch is up.
This does not yet fix the hardcoded `g++`, but changes the
`pari-2.4.4.patch` such that it will work with older PARI versions, e.g.
our current 2.4.3.alpha.* spkgs, as well, so we can in principle remove
the dependency on #11130 (and merge it earlier).
I've also detailed the description of the patches in `SPKG.txt` and added
a few more comments there.
