I'm keeping my head down and hoping it gets a lenny-ignore, frankly.
It's come a bit late in the release cycle to try to do anything
disruptive.

I'm hoping to start going through upstream svn and provide a patch to
get it to link against a system libtommath (I'm aiming to do something
like the common --use-system-libtool switch lots of configures have,
if possible).  Help (especially testing) would be appreciated - it's
been a little while since I did any serious autoconf hacking, and it's
easy to get half right, so it works fine on my machine and completely
breaks on the HPUX 2.3 running on someone's toaster.

Cheers,
