Ok.

I fact, gp can use gzip to load gzipped files, it seems. I moved the
Requires to the gp subpackage.

Ok.

The C example is in fact an example for a dynamic module loadable by gp.
So it effectively belong to gp and not to devel.

I replace the last sentence by:
"This package contains the shared libraries. The interactive
calculator PARI/GP is in package %{name}-gp."

> - Do we even care about pari.cfg? 
users.dvi mentions it, so I thought I leave it in the docdir.

> - why not ship xgp and gpflog?
I would not ship xgp. I just added a .desktop file to start gp
in a terminal. I leave gpflog in.

Ok.
