Summary: gmp's memory management

Initial Comment:
Simon M,

I assume ghc allocates the lumps of gmp integers still
on ghc's heap, making it impossible (or very awkward)
to interface to C libraries that use gmp themselves. Is
there a chance that you could use the default memory
allocator for lumps starting from ghc 6.4? That would
make my life much easier.

Thanks,
Axel.
