Hi Bill, In my view renaming gmp.h to mpir.h within _gmp_ files makes no sense from a Windows perspective since it only complicates bringing any new GMP files into MPIR. I see the use of gmp.h when building MPIR followed by the subsequent export (or renaming) of gmp.h to mpir.h for use by MPIR applications as the most efficent and effective way ahead. So, unless anyone comes up with a good reason for such renaming, I would support what we do now as the sensible way ahead.
