All of them depend on the same (small) library,
the one under the 'lib' subdirectory; additionally:
all the pipe port extensions depend on the same
library (the one under the 'ende' directory), and
that one does not depend on Guile: it can be used
in other C libraries.

In this situation, and being in the early stages of
development, having a single package makes it easy for
me to automatically test all the code at each change
in the common code.

However I'm not sure that 15 packages (with dependeces)
would make it easy for the Guile user.

Ideally this could happen. And I think that, especially
for some of the (non GNU) math extensions, it would
make testing easier for the upstream develpers, too.

Chi vivrà, vedrà...

It exposes integer functions not exposed by Guile,
like the number theoretic ones; it also exposes
MPF functions (but I have to review that code).
