 The attached patch, and spkg implements an interface to Anders Buch's
 Littlewood-Richardson Calculator ``lrcalc``

 The "Littlewood-Richardson Calculator" is a C library for fast
 computation of Littlewood-Richardson (LR) coefficients and products of
 Schubert polynomials. It handles single LR coefficients, products of
 and coproducts of Schur functions, skew Schur functions, and
 fusion products. All of the above are achieved by counting LR
 (skew)-tableaux (also called Yamanouchi (skew)-tableaux) of
 appropriate shape and content by iterating through them.
 Additionally, ``lrcalc`` handles products of Schubert polynomials.

 The web page of ``lrcalc`` is: http://math.rutgers.edu/~asbuch/lrcalc/

 Here is a short extract of the doc:

 {{{
 EXAMPLES::

     sage: import sage.libs.lrcalc.lrcalc as lrcalc

 Compute a single Littlewood-Richardson coefficient::

     sage: lrcalc.lrcoef([3,2,1],[2,1],[2,1])              #optional -
 lrcalc
     2

 Compute a product of Schur functions; return the coefficients in the Schur
 expansion::

     sage: lrcalc.mult([2,1], [2,1])                       #optional -
 lrcalc
     {[3, 3]: 1, [4, 2]: 1, [3, 1, 1, 1]: 1, [4, 1, 1]: 1, [2, 2, 2]: 1,
 [3, 2, 1]: 2, [2, 2, 1, 1]: 1}
 }}}

 Add optional package [attachment:lrcalc-1.1.6beta.spkg]

 Apply: [attachment:trac_10333-lrcalc-final.patch]

 Making lrcalc into a standard package in the next Sage release is the
 topic of the followup ticket: #11563

 Replying to [comment:27 jdemeyer]:
 > Maybe this should be discussed on sage-devel?  I don't have an opinion
 either way.

 Ok, I just relaunched the discussion there:
