In nettle, I use mpz_getlimbn for conversion to base 256 (and that's why I use it in the configure test). Maybe I could use mpz_export instead, I'm not sure if that would be convenient. It was also on the list of GMP functions used by guile, which is the main reason I include it in mini-gmp. Not sure what it is used for there. I think there would be some use for base 256 conversion on the mpz level. Regards, /Niels -- Niels Möller. PGP-encrypted email is preferred. Keyid C0B98E26.
