FLINT: fast library for number theory

This is a cross-platform wasm build that make the functionality of FLINT available to web assembly. Currently you might use this by writing a C/C++ program that relies on FLINT, and links in the libraries built using the recipe here, then building that for deployment on the web using emscripten.

Test a program using FLINT

There are examples in flint-*/examples, and we copy some of them here in src/examples. For example, to build primegen, do as in src/examples:

~/sagejs/src/packages/flint/src/examples$ make run-primegen
emcc primegen.c -o primegen.js ... -lflint -lmpfr -lgmp
node ./primegen.js 20

There's also a C++ example:

$ ~/sagejs/src/packages/flint/src/examples$ make run-partitions
em++ partitions.cpp -o partitions.js ... -lflint -lmpfr -lgmp
node ./partitions.js 2021
