I agree. In compiling GMP 4.3.1, 4.3.2, and 5.0.0 in msys, I get
libgmp-3.dll. GMP 5.0.1 is the first version to generate libgmp-10.dll. So I
would change those two commands in the manual to:

 cd .libs
 lib /def:libgmp-10.dll.def /out:libgmp-10.lib

Especially because I don't like the idea of renaming a dll.
