  If you are in the process of doing C++ portability patches, one I find 
  very important is the one about freefunc in gmpxx.h (use a typedef in 
  extern "C"). There are several versions by different people on the list 
  (it is just a couple lines), I can resend one if needed. The thing is that 
  all the std:: mess in gmp.h is easy to work around by including the C 
  headers (stddef.h, stdio.h, don't know which ones exactly) or some "using" 
  directives before gmp.h, never mind the pollution of the global namespace, 
  whereas I have to patch gmpxx.h before I can use it.
  
I am preparing GMP 4.2.3, and if you have some safe C++ portability
changes for that release, please sedn them to the list.
