It's there (our mail passed in the night) and seems to work.

Yes, that's the question.  There were, as I recall, a number of things 
to deal with to get this to work.  I don't have a handle on them all, 
not being proficient with build issues and pari/gp.  I have seen 
Karim's reply, and his plan may be viable (though that's one of those 
areas where I'm [militantly] clueless).

I'll reread the old mail on this subject and see if I can reconstruct 
where we were when I dropped it.

Regards,

Justin
