MPI and GMP

[Scott Bucholtz]

It requires a little more work then just sending the Lib-GMP variables 
directly over MPI.  You have to:
 	1) determine the length of the Lib-GMP variable in the desired 
base (e.g., mpz_sizeinbase); plus 1
 	2) send #1 as an MPI_UNSIGNED_LONG
 	3) convert the Lib-GMP variable in its base to a string (e.g., 
mpz_get_str)
 	4) allocate a new string of that size on the other side (realloc)
 	5) send the string from #3 as an MPI_CHAR
 	6) convert the string at the other end to a Lib-GMP variable 
(e.g., mpz_set_str)
 	7) clean up (i.e., free string memory)


Hope this helps.
