Yes, there must be a better way. I don't know why I'm having to link to 
libc.lib and msvcrt.lib. I have a perl extension that wraps just about 
every mpfr function that's documented in 'mpfr.info'. If I build that 
extension with VC 7 it's *not* necessary to specify those additional 
links to libc.lib and msvcrt.lib. Damned if I know what accounts for the 
difference :-)

I'll be interested to hear how you go about it if/when you start using 
the mpfr functions.

Cheers,
Rob
