I think this is unacceptable for 2.2, now that 2.2c1 carries the
module. It seems that it still works fine as before with older
versions of GMP, and it also seems that there are a few users out
there of the module.

If users care enough, somebody will contribute a patch. If they don't
care, we can deprecate it for 2.3, and remove it in 2.4 (following the
guidelines for language evolution).
