Hello,

I wrote the first PKGBUILDs for the englab packages mentioned in http://pastebin.com/GVPYcvLC. 
I handed them over to the maintainer Verminoz because he was (is?) in contact with the 
upstream project. The project has its own pacman-repositories (e.g. 
http://englab.bugfest.net/arch/x86_64/) for the englab packages. The PKGBUILDS are also 
available from their sourceforge project file area.

I am quite sure that englab-cimg and englab-plot can be removed (older duplicates of 
libenglab-cimg resp.libenglab-plot). The documentation (package englab-doc) maybe should 
be removed, because it is only one file and can be downloaded from sourceforge easily. 

Not sure about the other plugins, which do not have a counterpart with prefix "lib" 
(englab-matrix, englab-special-functions). Are they still valid? Have they been replaced?

Hope this clarifies some issues.

Stefan
