It is correct that eclib only uses pari in a very small way (for
factoring integers).

I am also willing to help upgrade to pari 2.4.  Maybe Alex Ghitza
would also join in -- he and I worked well together fixing a lot of
pari precision issues in 2008.

Perhaps this should be coordinated somehow (sage-pari?).  It might be
possible to split the work up a bit.
