All these bindings look interesting, but why not publish them
independently?  For GNU libraries, the bindings could even be included
upstream I guess, which would be very beneficial to Guile users.

Also, Guile 1.8 uses GMP internally.  Does your set of bindings provide
additional functionalities (I understand that your main goal was
educational)?

Thanks,
Ludovic.
