On Windows, the GMP binaries would be incorporated into pythonxy.dll. This would force anybody providing a copy of pythonxy.dll to also provide the sources of GMP.

I thought the suggestion was to provide a way of optionally compiling Python to use GMP. The standard Python distribution for Windows wouldn't be compiled that way, so it wouldn't have any GMP-related code in its dll.
