I've just built scilab from the pkgsrc tree today.  It has taken all day*,
so to save anyone else the hassle I've generated the .tar.gz file as well
(it's only 5MB...).  If anyone *does* want it (and I should imagine that's
not very many ppl), let me know and I'll put it somewhere convenient.

Have fun,
David.

* - a couple of times longer than a -current kernel takes, before anyone
accuses me of having a slow machine... ;-)
