Done.
Grazie!

Done :-)
Both evaluation I changed used addlsh_n(.,.,.,2); and both had a small
bug, that remained undetected, because we don't HAVE_NATIVE_mpn_addlsh_n,
anywhere.
Unsurprising. Untested code is broken code.
It turns out that we do have addlsh_n, but that configure.in had not be
taught to include it in any configuration.
I can't see any use for rsblsh2_n, yet. sublsh2_n could be used in
toom_interpolate_6pts.c#l137, maybe also rsblsh2_n can be used there,
obtaining -w2 and changing the sign again later.
No sublsh2_n yet, though. It is harder to get that fast.
About rsblsh1_n: comments in gmp-impl.h declare that it "returns the
borrow out (-1, 0, 1)", but if we mean borrow = -carry... then it seems
like it returns "the carry". I'm using it and it works.
Well... I cleaned up rsblsh2_n's return value now, -1...3 should be its
range, I think.
