New Port Request: Primesieve from https://github.com/kimwalisch/primesieve

[Kenneth Wolcott]

Hi All;

  I can build the Primesieve library by hand, but by default the
library is installed in /usr/local.

  The MacPorts Manual/FAQ strongly discourages placing include files
and libraries in /usr/local.

  I really would like to use Primesieve (Library) from MacPorts if
somebody would be so kind as to create that port.

  My knowledge of cmake is insufficient to try to modify the
Primesieve source myself; and even if I did, where would I write the
include and and library files? It would be best to place them in
/opt/local, but then that really should be done by a Macports
installation.

  It would also be very nice if the Perl and Raku (others as well
would be icing on the cake!) bindings of the Primesieve Library were
also created as MacPorts ports.

  Meanwhile I am trying to learn how to create an Ada binding for the
Primesieve Library.

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
