 > #13588. I don't think it breaks FTE. I tested it quite extensively and
 it works fine without the libgmpxx dll. And I don't see a respective
 dependency when checking on Windows either. I can grab 4.5-alpha-2 or a
 nightly to test it, too.

 Ok, I'll give it a test too. Where are you getting your nightlies from?
