[Mono-dev] Add a libgmp-wrapper to mono

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello,

> x.Add(1).Multiply(3).Remainder(5) would act on only one object, whereas

> result, wich is another, distinct object in its own right).

This sounds really good;   My suggestion would be to host this on
code.google.com and then building packages through the OpenSUSE Build
Service which can create packages for multiple distributions at once.
