As is often the problem with volunteer projects, it's all a question
of resources.  With only so many active committers, so many hours in
the day, and external constraints (school, college, RealJob[tm], family),
it's sometimes very tough to get things done in a timely manner.

Interesting exercise for the interested reader.  Using the cvs logs
and gnats database, work out an average time for updates to be committed,
and the factors that appear to influence a faster commit time.

Seriously.  I for one would love to know the results.

As an aside, I have a port of the FSF GMP library sitting around here
somewhere (I used it once for some reason that I forget), so I'll grab
this particular PR, merge it with what I have, and commit.
