[ITP] libtommath

[Jan Nijtmans]

Hi all,

Libtommath (version 1.2.0) is a multiple-precision integer library which
is available on various Linux platforms (e.g. Ubuntu, Fedora). Tcl 8.6
has its own libtommath fork built-in, but it's planned to change that
for Tcl 8.7: Tcl 8.7 will depend on libtommath 1.2.0 (or later). That's
why I would like this package to be available for Cygwin.

I created a libtommath.cygport file, and managed to create x64 and i686
cygwin packages for it. If approved, can you please add those to
the cygwin-pkg-maint file and have these owned by me. Then I will
upload them.

The package files can be found (temporary) here:

libtommath1
libtommath-doc
libtommath-devel
libtommath-debuginfo

Thanks!

Regards,
      Jan Nijtmans

your cygport has some problem at package action

*** Warning: libtommath.hint is missing

no idea why, but your cygport is a bit unusual in defining the
variables

Yes, I saw this warning. Also don't known why. The resulting package
works!   And since libtommath doesn't have any dependencies ...

I could use some advise how to do this better!

Thanks!
