C++ and std::

[Marc Glisse]

Hello,

I know I pushed in favor of doing things cleanly for the C++ std 
namespace. I was _a bit_ idealistic... I decided to give up on that. This 
is not what gmp is about, and I can always maintain my own patch if it 
itches too much. I now believe the best way to avoid trouble is, as has 
been claimed by other people, something like the attached patch for 
gmp-h.in. I don't necessarily expect the patch to be applied, I just 
wanted to cancel what I said in the opposite direction on this mailing 
list.

By the way, it seems natural to include stdarg.h by default in C++ for the 
same reasons that stdio.h is included.
