I didn't spot any Platform ones that get installed by default with VS
2005. I guess the platform SDK may have some, but there isn't nearly
enough space on the laptop for the platform SDK.

That's really too bad since without using mingw or cygwin tools basic Win32 files like "windows.h" only come with the Platform SDK now.

1) Anyone know a version of gmp which will work with all VS versions?

There are precompiled .DLL versions of GMP for Windows and directions
for compiling it as a DLL under cygwin and patch files for compiling
under VC++.NET at:
http://cs.nyu.edu/exact/core/gmp/

Yes, those are the _only_ versions of GMP I've found. The compiled
versions don't work under VS 2005. The version Yhc ships with is taken
from there. I suspect recompiling would work, but GMP is very well
known for randomly breaking compilers, so a solution that doesn't
involve compiling it myself would be strongly preferable.

There are also binaries under the ClamAV Native Win32 Port, at
http://oss.netfarm.it/clamav/

If that doesn't work and you still need to build GMP, there are also some notes on building GMP under VS 2005 at:
http://www.swox.com/list-archives/gmp-discuss/2006-March/002212.html

Note that these directions require using Yasm. I have been using the Yasm assembler and it works well; use revision after r1713. See http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/wiki/Download, grab the 'latest snapshot' and rename it to 'yasm'.

Cheers,
Pete
