This program is used to find Mersenne Prime numbers. See
http://www.utm.edu/research/primes/mersenne.shtml for a good
description of Mersenne primes. Mersenne numbers can be proved
composite (not prime) by either finding a factor or by running
a Lucas-Lehmer primality test.

changes:
-build system improvements
-Fixed bug where a FILEPOS was copied FPOS_POS_BITS octets instead of
FPOS_POS_LEN octets.
-documentation improvements
* Upgraded to latest libtool, autoconf and automake (libtool-2.2,
autoconf-2.61, automake-1.10.1)
* Fixed underflow in ODE adaptive step size controller that could
cause step size to decrease to zero.
* Improved the handling of the asymptotic regime in gsl_sf_bessel_jl.
* Improved the handling of large arguments in cumulative distribution
functions using the incomplete beta function, such as gsl_cdf_fdist_P.
* Fixed overflow bug in gsl_cdf_hypergeometric_{P,Q} for large
arguments.
* gsl_ran_gaussian_ziggurat now handles generators with different
ranges explicitly, to minimise the number of function calls
required.
* Added missing error terms in gsl_sf_exp_mult_e10_e to prevent
the error being underestimated.
* Updated some constants to the CODATA 2006 values.
* The hypergeometric function gsl_sf_hyperg_2F1 now handles the case
where x==1.
* Fixed a bug in the brent minimiser which prevented optimal convergence.
* Added functions for evaluating complex polynomials
* The convergence condition for gsl_multiroots_test_delta now accepts
dxi == 0.
* Improved functions gsl_ldexp and gsl_frexp to handle the full range
of double precision numbers in all cases.
* Added new quasi random generators gsl_qrng_halton and
gsl_qrng_reversehalton which support dimensions up to 1229.
* Added function gsl_multifit_linear_residuals for computing the
residuals of the fit
SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
o The default graphics device in non-interactive use is now
pdf() rather than postscript(). [PDF viewers are now
more widely available than PostScript viewers.]
The default width and height for pdf() and bitmap() have been
changed to 7 (inches) to match the screen devices.
o Most users of the X11() device will see a new device that has
different fonts, anti-aliasing of lines and fonts and
supports semi-transparent colours.
o Considerable efforts have been made to make the default output
from graphics devices as similar as possible (and in
particular close to that from postscript/pdf). Many devices
were misinterpreting 'pointsize' in some way, for example as
being in device units (pixels) rather than in points.
o Packages which include graphics devices need to be re-installed
for this version of R, with recently updated versions.
+ New features and bug fixes.
- assume that Python 2.4 and 2.5 are compatible and allow checking for
fallout.
- remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_COMPATIBLE that are obsoleted by the 2.3+
default. Modify the others to deal with the removals.

* quadpack functions: Return partially-evaluated expressions
* plot functions: New options; bug fixes
* tensor functions: Many improvements
* graphs package: Improvements
The iODBC and MySQL table drivers, which allows transmitting
data between MathProg model objects and relational databases,
were re-implemented to replace a static linking by a dynamic
linking to corresponding shared libraries.
Many thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt <heinrich.schuchardt@gmx.de>
for the contribution, Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@debian.org>
for useful advices concerning the shared library support under
GNU/Linux, and Vijay Patil <vijay.patil@gmail.com> for testing
this feature under Windows XP.
A new optional feature was added to the package. This feature
is based on the zlib data compression library and allows GLPK
API routines and the stand-alone solver to read and write
compressed data files performing compression/decompression "on
the fly" (compressed data files are recognized by suffix `.gz'
in the file name). It may be useful in case of large MPS files
to save the disk space (up to ten times).
Changes are basically bugfixes.
pkgsrc changes:
Don't bother patching configure.ac - it was only part of the changes
being made to configure so don't pretend you could use it to regerate
configure.
Use -fPIC rather than -fpic for NetBSD powerpc. Should fix PR 38032.
include:
* Added some timing pauses so rotations and such are not too
fast.
* Changed default setting of X11 option :FAST-LINES to NIL. It
is no longer needed as an optimization and support seems to
now be buggy on some servers.
+ Support user-destdir installation.
+ HOMEPAGE has moved to uiowa.edu.
patch-ac that altered the order in which the terminal library for
readline was detected. The termcap.buildlink3.mk file (included
indirectly by readline/buildlink3.mk) will do the right thing by
itself.
+ Modify the pkg-index.tmpl INSTALL script fragment: we can just use
${PKG_PREFIX} instead of substituting for @PREFIX@ everywhere. Also
refactor the commands to rebuild the package index into a shell
function and give some indication to the user what is happening.
+ Remove chown operation in post-install that was basically
cargo-culted from the very first version of R imported into pkgsrc.
It's not necessary.
+ Support user-destdir installation.
Bump the PKGREVISION to 2.
- The addition of several new routines for complex number operations.
- Minor changes in the function implementations to use the new
operations.
+ Support user-destdir installation.
+ Move Makefile for building the BLAS library from patch-aa into
files/Makefile.blas. It's simpler to edit this file than to create
new patches.
Linux. The readline buildlink3.mk file now pulls in the correct
dependencies on its own.
+ Actually tell the configure script to use the readline dependency.
+ Add patch-ac which fixes the declaration of readline() to match the
readline.h header (it takes a const char * argument).
+ Add full DESTDIR support.
Bump the PKGREVISION to 2.

What are the distribution terms for djbfft?
2008.02.27: I hereby place the djbfft package (in particular,
djbfft-0.76.tar.gz, with MD5 checksum 9349eff24c1f9fdfb98cfb51bece8efb)

Accomodate Darwin $AS which tries to read from STDIN.
On darwin, diagnoze arch via uname -p. (SIGBUS during build)
Update find_machine_architecture() to 2.3.0 logic (so disable sparcv7)
Make getHeap() use PerlIO, and consistently use bytes for output.
