This release is targeting the new stable release PARI 2.7 and the coming 
development release 2.8. 
Bugs fix:
  - Fix for multi-assignment of vecsmall
  - Casting lvalues did not work anymore since 0.0.7pl3

GP2C is a compiler for GP-scripts that output C code to be linked with libpari
or install'ed in GP.

It can be used to compile and run a GP script, to learn how to use the PARI
library, or to check a script for mistakes (with -W).

It also includes gp2c-run which provides a simple way to compile PARI programs
written in C, and gp2c-dbg which allow to run code under the debugger.

Cheers,
Bill.
