Steve,

The attached patch raises the bar on the versions of gmp and mpfr that are needed for building gfortran. This is my first attempt at editing the toplevel configure.in, so I would appreciate the scrutiny of someone who actually understand autoconf. In fact, someone else will need to commit this patch

I won't try to approve this for that reason.

or an improved version because I believe my write access is
limited to gfortran changes.
BTW, the reason for requiring MPFR 2.2 is that gfortran will soon use mpfr_subnormalize() instead of its current hackish code.

I sincerely hope that this is going to be OK. My attempts to build mpfr on Cygwin have all failed. I have been depending on the version bundled in with gmp.

I will attempt a build of both with the latest sources and report back.

Paul
