Description (last modified by )
This patch adds a function:
CoxeterGroup(cartan_type, implementation = "matrix" / "permutation")
to construct Coxeter groups. Whenever possible, the Coxeter group is constructed as a permutation group, using data from GAP3/Chevie; otherwise a Weyl group is returned, as a matrix group. An upcoming implementation is by reduced words, using the Coxeter 3 package.

We made changes to make the doctests pass. Not sure what the problem with the plugins are.

You should never use except:
without an exception type, otherwise you would catch some unwanted exceptions. Catch specific exceptions instead (or except Exception:
if you want to catch all actual exceptions).

There is a problem with the documentation:
/release/merger/sage-5.7.beta2/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sage/combinat/root_system/coxeter_group.py:docstring of sage.combinat.root_system.coxeter_group.CoxeterGroupAsPermutationGroup.Element.has_descent:3: WARNING: more than one target found for cross-reference u'descents': sage.combinat.root_system.root_lattice_realizations.RootLatticeRealizations.ElementMethods.descents, sage.categories.coxeter_groups.CoxeterGroups.ElementMethods.descents, sage.combinat.tableau.Tableau.descents, sage.combinat.sf.ns_macdonald.AugmentedLatticeDiagramFilling.descents, sage.combinat.permutation.Permutation_class.descents, sage.combinat.composition.Composition_class.descents

Hi Jeroen,
Should we ignore jehova's patchbot failure (the log and shortlog seem empty)?
Is the plugin.startup failure a suggestion for lazy importing CoxeterGroup??
Thanks!
Nicolas

In consultation with Nicolas, I fixed some failing doctests in /combinat/root_systems/coxeter_group.py for type H3.
