So I don't like rejecting the old version at any point.
I think the issue of whether to reject the old version of the library is at least partially orthogonal to the import issue. Even if we import the sources, we'll still want to support using an external MPFR, so that people who do have it on their system can leverage that. So, we still have to decide whether to allow older versions. On that point, I agree with previous posters who have suggested we should be liberal; we can issue a warning saying that we recommend 2.2.1, but not require it. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
