Hi everyone,

Thanks for maintaining MPIR!

I'm currently working on bringing my geometry library for Boolean/CSG 
operations up to snuff: https://github.com/gilbo/cork  The library relies on 
exact, big number arithmetic.  For Linux/Unix/Mac builds, I simply have users 
link against the GMP library, but for the Windows build, I have them link 
against MPIR.  Unfortunately, installing MPIR for Visual Studio is turning out 
to be difficult for some of my users.  So I was wondering...

1) Is it safe to build MPIR DLLs on one Windows machine and distribute to 
others, or is the produced DLL hardware-specific?  Are there any gotchas I 
should be watching for here?

2) What is the preferred approach to handling the LGPL if I distribute MPIR 
binaries with my library?  I saw this thread ( 
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mpir-devel/geF6ZlU7kFg/YZBeykpGW7gJ ) so I 
thought it would be better to sort this out up front.

3) Are there any plans to provide a Windows binary distribution through the 
MPIR site?  If so, that would be fantastic.  I could point my users there and 
be sure they're getting a well-maintained version of the library (instead of 
whatever janky DLL I manage to build in my free time).
