Description: OCaml interface to GMP and MPFR libraries

MLGMPIDL is an OCaml interface to the GMP and MPFR rational and real
number math libraries. Although there is another such interface, this
one is different in that it provides a more imperative (rather than
functional) interface to conserve memory and that this one uses
CAMLIDL to take care of the C/OCaml interface in a convenient and
modular way.

I have tested this package in F-10. It builds on Koji
(http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1214252). The rpmlint
output is as follows:

ocaml-mlgmpidl.i386: W: unstripped-binary-or-object /usr/bin/gmptop
ocaml-mlgmpidl.i386: W: ocaml-mixed-executable /usr/bin/gmptop
ocaml-mlgmpidl.i386: W: conffile-without-noreplace-flag
/etc/prelink.conf.d/ocaml-mlgmpidl-prelink.conf
ocaml-mlgmpidl-devel.i386: W: no-documentation

I am under the impression that the first three are ok: gmptop is an OCaml
toplevel with the library's capabilities built in.

If desired, I can include some form of stub documentation for
ocaml-mlgmpidl-devel, but there is a doc package that has the program
documentation.

I would also appreciate comments on whether I should be going back and
modifying the package's makefile to attempt to build libgmp_caml.a as a shared
object - I believe this would be necessary to allow gmp.cma to be loaded
dynamically.
