And I thought it was just a demonstration of "I am a bigger geek than
you" to build such old versions. I guess once we have solved the
problem of old Sage versions corrupting DOT_SAGE dirs of new builds by
making them use another DOT_SAGE (i.e. DOT_SAGE-x.y.z for Sage x,y.z)
we should make them "live" by linking scripts into $PATH somewhere.
One other thing I might do is to build even earlier releases since
0.9.10 does not seem early enough to look at some changes.

Sorry, I meant to write "HeilbronnCremona"
sage: HeilbronnCremona?
Type: type
Base Class: <type 'type'>
String Form: <type
'sage.modular.modsym.heilbronn.HeilbronnCremona'>
Namespace: Interactive
File: /scratch/mabshoff/sage-3.3.alpha3/local/lib/python2.5/
site-packages/sage/modular/modsym/heilbronn.so
Docstring:
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for
signature
By playing with it for a minute I learned that it needs a prime
integer as input and it returns a list of all Cremona-Heilbronn
matrices of determinant p. Now I need to read your book to figure out
what that is. You made me learn something today ;)
