I think the sticking point with multipack is compiling the Fortran. I
suppose we could do it with F2C but I have not tried that. I have the
multipack source but have not compiled it as far as I remember. The cephes
package ports easily however.

If I find time I will try to see how hard it would be to port multipack.
