[bug#57181] [PATCH] gnu: maths: Add newer SAT solvers cryptominisat5 and kissat

[Liliana Marie Prikler <liliana.prikler@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I've pushed kissat with some heavy edits.  In particular, I
- fixed the commit message,
- hard-coded the compression binaries (and made them regular inputs),
- fixed the actual test failure,
- used G-Expressions rather than quasiquoting.

See 9ddd37d6ab59e2519bbcefad15ce62561128f0ee.

I know about the existence of Minisat, but the problem here is rather
that cryptominisat seems to pull in lots of stuff that we'd rather have
packaged separately instead of vendored (e.g. googletest).  Could you
try unvendoring those things and place the remaining parts in the right
location without a recursive checkout?

"Incremental solving" sounds easier to understand.

If you have a Python interface, you probably also need python in
inputs, no?
