[issue1814] Victor Stinner's GMP patch for longs

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

Since this keeps coming up, I think it would make sense to turn this
into an optional extension module.

PS. The licensing concerns are another reason not to use this for the
core long (or int in Py3k) type.
