Warning! NULL is not sufficient. For instance,

#define NULL 0

is a valid definition, and if int is on 32 bits and pointers are
on 64 bits, you may have problems. Since the C standard also allows
the implementation to have different representations for pointers to
different types, it is safer to use a null pointer with the pointer
to mpf_t type.
