Summary: Future division breaks mpz

Initial Comment:
When future division is enabled in Python 2.2.2,
division of mpz objects no longer functions.

>>> from mpz import mpz
>>> mpz(12) / mpz(4)
mpz(3)
>>> from __future__ import division
>>> mpz(12) / mpz(4)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'mpz.mpz'
and 'mpz.mpz'
>>> mpz(12) // mpz(4)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for //:
'mpz.mpz' and 'mpz.mpz'

I don't recall why mpz is being deprecated (it's not listed
in PEP 4, nor has it actually been removed from 2.3 yet),
but I bet it's out of lack of maintainers, so I'll close
this as a WON'T FIX. If a volunteer to maintain mpz shows up
we could reverse the deprecation, but it looks like there
are already better solutions as 3rd party modules (gmpy and
mxNumber).

According to the docs for Python 2.2, the mpz module is deprecated and will be removed in Python 2.3, so it doesn't seem worth fixing this for a 
2.2.3 release.
