Nice, this must be a rather recent development because there has been a
total of 26 downloads of the headers from SF.

I will shut up about this for now because we are OT and I might get flamed
(and rightfully so) for this email in the morning :). I will try to get
MinGW to build in 64 bit mode and see if the current GMP can be build with
it. This is very exciting. If I get anything usefull I will report back.
