This is acceptable. My main concern is that Guile not exhibit "creeping DLL
hell". I once heard a statistic that said the Gnucash project, for instance,
has some 60 lib dependencies. Most of these are probably due to interlocking
GNOME dependencies... but that factors into why I don't touch GNOME with a
ten-foot pole.
Ideally, as you said, we'd provide an option to allow the user to opt out of
GMP usage, hopefully with no loss in functionality.
