Peter Tanski did exactly that (he's the author of the ReplacingGMPNotes above), but he's been very quiet recently. I don't know where he is up to. Perhaps someone else would like to join in?

Since I live only five minutes away from this year's Hackathon venue, I guess it would be kind of silly to have such an event in my neighborhood and not go to it! :)

I would enjoy working on this during the hackathon. Is there a reason to not start with a simple, Haskell-only implementation? And later use techniques known from ByteStrings and stream fusion to improve on that.

Oh, Matthias: if you're coming to the hackathon, please register so we can get you a tshirt! :) Details on the hackathon page. http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hac_2007_II -- Don
