Beaut, new words will be

     A MINGW DLL build of GMP can be used with Microsoft C.  Libtool
     doesn't install a `libgmp-3.lib' file, but it can be created with
     the following commands, and copied to the install directory.

          cd .libs
          impdef libgmp-3.def libgmp-3.dll
          lib /machine:IX86 /def:libgmp-3.def

I guess anyone smart enough to be doing that will know to use "nm" or
whatever to look at the symbols.
