I've just put up MPIR 1.3 (alpha) for testing.

As there is sooo much new code there is a very real possibility that
the Sage test suite will turn something up. Any volunteers to make an
spkg and see?

We especially would appreciate owners of Apple machines and anything
slightly exotic, to test MPIR.

It is available here:

http://www.mpir.org/

We have obviously tested ourselves, extensively, on a number of build
farms and testing continues....

As no tests have turned up any new bugs we need to fix, then once Jeff
Gilchrist does Windows testing and I have written the AUTHORS,
ChangeLog and NEWS files, it will become rc1.

Known Issues:

* Cygwin32: make check fails if build path contained spaces - trac #28

* MSYS32: make check fails if only a shared library is built (the
library should be compiled correctly though) - trac #199

* X86 32 bit Apple gcc: no PIC support in assembly code - trac #94

* Make tune will core dump with small probability on some loaded
machines - trac #34

* Fat binary x86_64 build will fail with old GNU and Sun assembler
versions - trac #133

* Test failure (mpz/t-export) on a Pentium-D with gcc 4.1.2 - appears
to be a problem with the C library function memcmp not MPIR - trac
#168

* MPN_ZERO miscompiles on ia64 with gcc 4.1.2 - trac #223

* The mpirbench program may fail to build on some platforms.

* Tuning code fails on mips64el - trac #207

* icc build will fail on itanium - trac # 201
