Hi All,

As requested previously my git repository (vennard.org.uk/git/mpir.git) 
is now fixed properly and live. I've taken mpir-1.3-rc1 as the initial 
commit and also created a branch for it, as well as av_cuda for cuda 
related changes. I've worked out how to get these new branches, once 
pushed, to appear in git branch -a, namely run git update-server-info in 
the repository on the server after a push, so I fixed my problem and 
will be pushing where I got to with cuda development up shortly. It 
isn't very exciting so don't await it with baited breath...

Thanks,

Antony
