Ok, I found it.  It's called fgmp and for example available from

    http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~scheme/source/stk/Mp/fgmp-1.0b5/

We could include it in guile-core and use it when the user doesn't
want the LGPLed GMP.


Soooo, that's it, right?  Given that fgmp is complete enough (but Stk
uses it, so it should be), we don't need to do anything special
license wise, right?
