 1447 What you see here is a very classic version of the GNU MPI (bignum) library.
 1448 It has been surgically removed from GnuPG 1.4.10, specifically as found at:

 1455 Recommended compilation:
 1456 1) gprbuild mpi.gpr
 1457 
 1458 Tests:
 1459 2) cd tests
 1460 3) gprbuild
 1461 4) ./test_mpi
 1462 5) output is:

 1464 6) q: 'Waaaaaa, it barfed!'
 1465    a: You are probably using GCC 5 or LLVM. Stop.

 1468 CHANGES FROM ORIGINAL:
 1469 
 1470 1) Everything pertaining to Automake was nuked, and the earth where it stood -
 1471    salted.
 1472 
 1473    Instead, we now have a conventional Makefile. It builds precisely
 1474    ONE THING - a single 'mpi.a' library suitable for static linking into
 1475    another project. This will turn up in 'bin'.
 1476 
 1477    Among other things, this now means that all KNOBS now reside in a
 1478    MANUALLY-controlled 'knobs.h' found in 'include'.  If you are building
 1479    on some very peculiar unix, please read it and adjust as appropriate.
 1480    It contains ONLY those knobs which actually pertain to the code.
 1481 
 1482    The Makefile contains a 'check-syntax' - users of Emacs and Flymake
 1483    will see proper error-highlighting.
 1484 
 1485 2) ALL chip-specific ASM optimizations (including those found in longlong.h)
 1486    have been nuked.
 1487 
 1488 3) GPG-specific cruft has been amputated to the extent practical.
 1489 
 1490    The logging system has been retained, but it can be easily torn out,
 1491    which I may choose to do in the near future.
 1492 
 1493    The I/O buffering system has been retained. I may choose to remove it
 1494    in the near future.
 1495 
 1496    The 'secure memory' (unpageable alloc) system has been retained.
 1497 
 1498    'Localization' and all related idiocies have been nuked.
 1499    Write hieroglyphs at home, leave them there, civilized folk
 1500    don't need'em in their source code.
 1501 
 1502 4) Other code has been altered solely to the extent required by items
 1503    (1), (2), and (3).
 1504 
 1505    Cruft which appears in dead #ifdefs may be removed in the future.
 1506    Don't get comfortable with it being there.
 1507 
 1508 5) Readers who wish to know EXACTLY what I changed, should get a copy of the
 1509    original tarball and write a simple script involving 'find' and 'vdiff',
 1510    which sadly did not fit in the margins of this page.
 1511 
 1512 6) To use the library, include 'include/mpi.h' in your project,
 1513    and statically link with 'bin/mpi.a'.
 1514 
 1515 7) The original code was distributed under GPL 3, which may apply on
 1516    your planet and is therefore included. (See COPYING.)
 1517 
 1518 ----------
 1519 UPDATE #1:
 1520 ----------
 1521 
 1522 1) Abolished the logging subsystem inherited from GPG.
 1523 
 1524 2) Abolished the I/O buffering subsystem, from same.
 1525 
 1526 3) Eliminated all #ifdef blocks pertaining to RiscOS.
 1527 
 1528 4) config.h is now knobs.h and is considerably shorter
 1529    on account of there now being a great many fewer knobs.
 1530 
 1531 5) Eliminated certain blocks of dead code.
 1532 
 1533 6) Inserted notice of modifications as specified in GPL-3
