Indeed, Jay Belanger <jay.p.belanger@gmail.com> did a good job
maintaining it for several years, but since then he moved to SXEmacs
(IIUC in part because of its support for bignums), leaving our Calc
maintainerless. Maybe it would be worthwhile to try and see how we
could sync the changes he's made to SXEmacs's Calc (might require moving
ahead with the addition of bignums to Emacs, which would be a good idea
in any case).
