The windows 5.26 build with libgmp-10.dll is an experimental build I
made using recent mingw/msys/gcc. It wasn't released officially. I plan
to do the same for 5.27 when I get time. I would like to switch to this
for future maxima releases but I can't get the build working on Windows
7 machines. Time to try an XP virtual machine under Windows 7 Professional.
