=head1 NAME

Math::BigInt::GMP - Use the GMP library for Math::BigInt routines

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Provides support for big integer calculations via means of the GMP c-library.

Math::BigInt::GMP now no longer uses Math::GMP, but provides it's own XS layer
to access the GMP c-library. This cut's out another (perl sub routine) layer
and also reduces the memory footprint by not loading Math::GMP and Carp at
all.

Thanx to Chip Turner for providing Math::GMP, which was inspiring my work.
