New description:
GMP is a great multi-precision integer library, but its LGPL license is
problematic for users of GHC (it prohibits static linking of GHC-compiled
programs, for example).
One possible alternative would be to use the bignum library from OpenSSL,
which is available under a BSD-style license.
