You can do whatever you want, I think. For one, the actual Scilab
interface wasn't done when I last looked at it. It seems some work has
been done more recently. Other than that, there are plenty more matrix
functions that could be added, and some other things fixed. The number
of multiple precision functions offered is currently a relatively small
fraction of the ones offered in Scilab using double. There also isn't
any plotting of the mpfr results, and probably some other major things.
You can ask me more questions if you want.
