For sharing the code: github or bitbucket are popular (and free for
open source), pick your choice of git or mercurial.

For licensing: GNU's LPGL is probably appropriate, if you want to
match GMP's license. More info here:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html and here:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html and here:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html

I would like to see k be mpz_t, for those really big numbers. :) Maybe
we can optimize it a bit.
