We opted to remove gmp from the release because it doesn't work under
Solaris 10, and porting gmp's assembly code is beyond us. From a
release perspective, it was only used optionally by librep, which was in
turn only used by sawfish, which could get along just fine without the
gmp functionality in librep.
