Heads up to maintainers. I'm about to update libtommath from 1.2.1
to 1.3.0. I did some testing with it, but anyone whose build depends
on it might want to do their own testing.

If your build is on this list:

https://slackbuilds.org/advsearch.php?stype=revdep&q=libtommath

...you should check it against the updated libtommath in my
git branch:

https://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/commit/?h=urchlay&id=7eb0683c32419515c337c6b1d2e851f9d365cfda

Notice is isn't just a simple VERSION bump, I had to change the code
that handles the pkg-config .pc file also.

I built everything on the list without problems, and tested that the
game stepmania would at least start up and exit cleanly. I can't test
rbutil properly as I don't own the hardware it supports, and I don't
know anything about Perl 6 aka rakudo other than that it compiles with
the new libtommath, and "zef --help" appears to run correctly.

If nobody reports any problems in the next few days, the libtommath
update will go into this weekend's regular update.
