GMP 4.2.4 builds with MSVC?? We will certainly have the same naming convention between the linux and windows builds in mpir-1.0.0. The binaries will be called mpir*. Probably we will introduce a little script to set up links or rename them for people who just want to plug mpir in instead of gmp and don't care about overwriting their existing gmp binaries.
