This ticket was split away from #7013:
The goal of this ticket is to create an spkg for primesieve
(http://primesieve.googlecode.com) which provides the functionality of
primesieve is a shared library.
An initial spkg is available at
http://wstein.org/home/ohanar/primesieve/primesieve-3.4.p1.spkg.

Comment:
Considering that Kevin decided to go with primesieve over Silva's
"prime_sieve.c", I think that it is appropriate to use this ticket to
discuss the primesieve spkg (since the functionality is simply a superset
of "prime_sieve.c").
I've created an initial spkg, although for the moment implicitly assumes
that gcc >= version 4.2.
