Aha; given that this isn't a regression, I was going to do this
immediately after the prerelease; but I'm happy to squeeze it in
before if you think that's better.
I think what we need just is
- import of the Gnulib `havelib' module (actually we already import
this indirectly, but now we need it directly)
- AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS(gmp) in configure.in
- update of the "Additional INSTALL instructions" section in README,
to mention the --with-xxx-prefix configure options, and to point to
the Gnulib doc on how these work (and how they sometimes don't).
Do you want to squeeze this in?
Regards,
Neil
