     To accomodate vector machines, we might want to put mpn_mul_n,
     mpn_sqr_n, mpn_mul, and the various karatsuba and toom routines
     in a single file.  Or, we might want to move mpn_sqr_n to
     mul_n.c.
  
     Any informed opinions?
  
  Perhaps we could put all squaring functions in sqr_n.c, while still
  including them in mul_n.c...
  
Yes, that's an alternative too.  But if we put all the functions
on one file, including the highest-lever mpn_mul, we will get the
best inlining.

  This could be replaced by mpn_cmp (ap + dn, bp + dn, an - dn), isn't it?

Yes, that'd be even shorter.
