Well, it wouldn't take too much work to import it. The code compiles without
any errors using just a simple 'make.' The Makefile needs to be be bmake-ed
though.

The documentation in gmp-1.3.2 talks about a gmp-2.0, but it doesn't seem
to exist. Could have been just wishful thinking on the author's part. 

I'd rather have someone else do the import since I'm a little fuzzy on
the exact procedure, but if no one else has time I suppose I could
handle it.
