I think this is unacceptable for 2.2, now that 2.2c1 carries the module. It seems that it still works fine as before with older versions of GMP, and it also seems that there are a few users out there of the module. If users care enough, somebody will contribute a patch. If they don't care, we can deprecate it for 2.3, and remove it in 2.4 (following the guidelines for language evolution).

Let's mark it as deprecated in 2.2, and remove it in 2.3.
