Well, the disadvantage of `typedef`s (vs. `#define`s) is always that
there's no way to test (with the preprocessor) whether a type is already
(`type`)def'd (other than checking such in `configure` and defining
`HAVE_TYPEDEF_FOO` etc.).
As mentioned elsewhere, in the present cases it would IMHO be cleaner to
use `mp_limb_t` anyway (which of course isn't that much shorter or easier
to type than `unsigned long`).
