Introduction

Mpc is a C library for the arithmetic of complex numbers with arbitrarily high precision and correct rounding of the result. It is built upon and follows the same principles as Mpfr. The library is written by Andreas Enge, Philippe Théveny and Paul Zimmermann and is distributed under the Gnu Lesser General Public License, either version 2.1 of the license, or (at your option) any later version. The Mpc library has been registered in France by the Agence pour la Protection des Programmes on 2003-02-05 under the number IDDN FR 001 060029 000 R P 2003 000 10000.

Rewritten test framework, leading to many...
Bug fixes
- configure looks for gmp (>= 4.2) first, then for mpfr (>= 2.3.1)
- cos, div, div_fr, fr_sub, mul_fr, set_fr, sqr
