ECL - test suite and spkg-check file

[Dr. David Kirkby]

There's no spkg-check file for ECL, so we can't run ECL's self-tests. In order
to do this, we would need to add the tests, which are in a sepparate file (1.7 MB).

I'd propose that we add

1) Add the ECL test code
2) Add an spkg-check file so ECL's self-tests can run if SAGE_CHECK=yes.

But of course it would add 1.7 MB to the ECL package.

There is a ticket to upgrade both Maxima and ECL open now

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8731

Adding the self-tests into the package would be quite easy. Then we could run
'make check' from spkg-install.

Comments?

I'm definitely in favor of adding ecl's test suite. Assuming that ecl
actually passes its self-tests ;)

Well, even if it does not, this will not stop Sage building, as the test suite
would only be run when SAGE_CHECK=yes.

It's 1 AM here, so I'm not going to do anything for some hours at least, but if
others feel like us, then I'll add the test suite to the package, and write teh
spkg-check file.

I agree that if self-tests exist then we should enable them (when
SAGE_CHECK=yes).
