easily be able to make Sage full use of LinBox - my C++ knowledge is
rather limited, and I know nothing about LinBox. So, in order to use
that for my project, I would have to wait for other people doing the
work.

Moreover, my benchmarks seem to indicate that *for the purpose of my
project* MeatAxe performs relatively well (unfortunately not compared
with Magma, as it seems).

OK. Then I'll probably proceed as I did with my old cohomology spkg:
I'll use MeatAxe, but not as a separate spkg.

Cheers,
Simon
