Long ago I suggested to use a parametrized macro like
"__GMP_DECLSPEC(type)" when a massive change of "type __GMP_DECLSPEC"
to "__GMP_DECLSPEC type" was needed, in order to make it more general
and account for all possible future cases like this one. Here's the

Alternatively something like "__GMP_DECLPREFIX type __GMP_DECLSUFFIX"
could work (ZLIB does something similar) but that's really ugly.
