Sorry Dave, no spkg. I did everything so far at the system level and then
tested the doctests in sage-on-gentoo. It was quick and easy for me to do
that. I attached the patch to ecl in #10766.
If you want I will do a spkg but I will have to ask Minh to have access to 
his google code repo as I don't have my own web space unfortunately.

I'd like to discuss more the last doctest that I ended up patching separately.
The whole section tested reads:
     Check if #6189 is fixed (which, by the way, also
    demonstrates it's not always good to expand)::

        sage: n = N; n
        <function numerical_approx at ...>
        sage: F(x) = 1/sqrt(2*pi*1^2)*exp(-1/(2*1^2)*(x-0)^2)
        sage: G(x) = 1/sqrt(2*pi*n(1)^2)*exp(-1/(2*n(1)^2)*(x-n(0))^2)
        sage: integrate( (F(x)-F(x))^2, x, -infinity, infinity).n()
        0.000000000000000
        sage: integrate( ((F(x)-G(x))^2).expand(), x, -infinity, infinity).n()
        -6.26376265908397e-17
        sage: integrate( (F(x)-G(x))^2, x, -infinity, infinity).n()
        0

Now the two computations gives the same result, independently of the
version of maxima (5.22.1 and 5.23.2) and that's not 0.

It looks like this version of ecl reopen #6189.

Comments anyone?
