I would prefer not to document the python build in this release as it is 
only experimental at the moment. The definitive version is the one I am 
working on in the mpir-exp directory in SVN and I don't guarantee that the
version in trunk will work..

For the next release I am working on a new Windows version in the 
experimental branch in the SVN (mpir-exp). This has now had a reasonable 
amount of testing on Windows and seems to work fine with no obvious 
problems. 

Its main feature is the introduction of two new integer types 
gmp_ui and gmp_si (maybe I should call them mpir_ui and mpir_si?) that are 
then used for all inputs/outputs in the GMP ui/si functions. This has 
already proved useful in avoiding the 32-bit long problems on Windows x64. 
The only issue is to encourage people to use gmp_printf rather than printf 
as this has the %M output format coded to automatically output the 
mp_limb_t 
type correctly.

But this now _really_ needs to be tested on Linux in order to ensure that I 
have not messed anything up on non-Windows systems.

So with the new FFT, the new Visual Studio build system, the possible 
removal of the "32-bit long" issue on WIndows x64, and, if Jason can do it, 
a new Windows friendly tuning system, the next release promises to be a big 
step forward, especially so on Windows.
