What keeps mpfr from replacing mpf ? Taking a quick look at the mpfr, I find that it provides several things that mpf doesn't have. For example
    - exception handling for overflow, underflow
    - rounding mode
    - extra routines like sin, cos, log, etc

A shared library is not built because mpfr is still preliminary and we
don't yet promise to be binary compatible in future releases.
