+PARI/GP is a widely used computer algebra system designed for fast computations
+in number theory (factorizations, algebraic number theory, elliptic curves,
+modular forms, L functions...), but also contains a large number of other
+useful functions to compute with mathematical entities such as matrices,
+polynomials, power series, algebraic numbers etc., and a lot of transcendental
+functions. PARI is also available as a C library to allow for faster
+computations.
+
+The build produces a singlethreaded gp binary. If a multithreaded version is
+wanted "--mt=pthread" has to be added as an Configure argument. This however
+created instability in the ploth-function and has therefore been ignored.
