Yes, we have been working on this for a long time, but this still does not
quite work as we hoped. We have trouble with the group-theoretical part
of the algorithm.

Also we plan for the new polgalois to return the action of the Galois group
on the roots so that one could compute the corresponding fixed field.

For groups of small order (says <=1000), one option is galoissplittinginit
which computes the Galois group of the splitting field of the polynomial.

G=galoissplittinginit(x^5-x-1); \\ S5
S=galoissubgroups(G);
H=select(s->vecprod(Vec(s[2]))==20,S)[1];
P=galoisfixedfield(G,H,1)
\\%4 = x^6+3600*x^5+8172480*x^4+14907176960*x^3+16934023065600*x^2+71434160884383744*x+86015979642640138240
polgalois(P)
\\%5 = [120,-1,1,"L(6):2 = PGL(2,5) = S_5(6)"]
