We need it or else we have to fall back on completely software emulated
quad arithmetic. Though the framework for replacing all those function
calls is available.
Note that GMP was included in the libc tree at one point, but recently
it's rotted away and Roland was recently removing the last bits in
2002-09-20. I'm not sure what ever came of this? It looks like GMP 2.0
was pushed into the tree in '96 as a generic method for doing unlimited
precision math?
I've only just realized how usefull having extremely descriptive
Changelog's can be :)
