MPC is a C library for the arithmetic of complex numbers with 
arbitrarily high precision and correct rounding of the result. It is 
built upon and follows the same principles as MPFR.

MPC is a prerequisite for gcc-4.5. See:
  - http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-03/msg00671.html

INSTALL OR UPGRADE NOTES
========================

Upstream bumped the shared library version number.  I chose not to bump 
the DLL version as from limited testing it appears to binary compatible 
with mpclib-0.6-1.

Version 0.7, "Campanula uniflora", released in September 2009, comes 
with the following new features:
     * New functions: mpc_pow, mpc_set_nan, mpc_swap
     * Bug fixes:
           o log: along branch cut
           o norm: infinite loop in case of overflow
           o ui_div, div, fr_div: handling of division by 0
             and  infinities following the example code of
             the C99 standard
           o compilation with g++
     * Makefile.vc updated (thanks to Mickael Gastineau)
     * Minimal gmp version is 4.2
     * Changed MPC_SET_X_Y macro
     * Functions mpc_random and mpc_random2 removed
