 A remark about installing with GMP 5. On Gentoo I had to apply the
 following
 for it to compile
 {{{
         # fixes for gmp-5
         sed -i "s:__GMP_BITS_PER_MP_LIMB:GMP_LIMB_BITS:g" bestd.c mpmod.c
 \
                 schoen_strass.c sp.h || die "failed to patch files for
 gmp-5"
 }}}
 This is backward compatible with GMP 4.3. I am a bit surprised that with
 the stuff
 that mpir has deprecated, they didn't deprecate that as well.
