Yes.  But NTL could do with a few more overloads for operator= and 
operator+ and so on.  Not a big deal by any means.  The larger issue is 
the GPL license.  If Stroup would be willing to release under a 
different license, like you suggest, that would be great.  (As long as 
he didn't use any GMP code in building NTL.  I think it's from scratch, 
but I don't know.)
