Total Newbie question

[Chris Saunders]

I have tried to use MPIR before and was unsuccessful.  I just downloaded it 
again from the URL you provided and have a question if you don't mind.  I 
guess I should first state that I now have built it successfully and it was 
much easier than using MSYS so thanks for reminding me about MPIR.  Do you 
know if this project has the intention to support MPFR?

Regards
Chris Saunders
