I think we should have both libgmp.* and libmp.* (as enabled by the -DBERKELEY flag) for compatibility with some packages which use it (like SSH). GNU mp is not the same as Berkeley mp so having the same name is misleading... -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #1: Sun Nov 12 16:47:05 MET 1995
