I needed to compute some high-precision (> double precision) test
cases for the Elliptic integrals and could not find anything to do it
- I usually use Pari-GP (GPL'ed) but it doesn't seem to have these.

If anyone has any suggestions for how to do this with free software,
I'd be glad to hear them.
