  Description     : polynomials over Boolean Rings
 The core of BRiAl is a C++ library, which provides high-level data
 types for Boolean polynomials and monomials, exponent vectors, as
 well as for the underlying polynomial rings and subsets of the
 powerset of the Boolean variables. As a unique approach, binary
 decision diagrams are used as internal storage type for polynomial
 structures. On top of this C++-library a Python interface
 is provided. This allows parsing of complex polynomial systems, as well
 as sophisticated and extendable strategies for Groebner base
 computation. BRiAl features a powerful reference implementation
 for Groebner basis computation.
 .
 This project is a successor of PolyBoRi.

The PolyBori project has been re-vived as BRiAl, which is now what 
sagemath uses. Parts have been rewritten, including a new 
autotools-based build system, so we should perhaps start a new packaging 
from scratch.

I don't plan to work on it just yet, so it's just an RFP.
