Humm, it depend on which side you look at it.  It's probably Borland 
specific.  I know that you probably can't account for every compiler's 
moods.  Though, my point was just that if the correction gave by Kevin will 
end up in the next GMP rev, I could have made the modification.

On the other side, I do understand that it's probably not the best option to 
put a second gmp.h online, especially for support.  I beleive that having 
several different gmp.h could be confusing and probably not desirable.

Though, if someone complain about those warnings, another option could be to 
tell them to include a modification to disable warnings in their source 
code, as #pragma.

#ifdef __BCPLUSPLUS__
#pragma warn -ccc
#pragma warn -ngu
#endif
