Subject:	Adding Alien::GMP As Dependency

Hi! I am a user of Net::SSH::Perl, which makes use of Math::GMP. Graham has a great CPAN distribution called Alien::GMP, which will automatically detect if GMP is installed, and if not then it will build GMP for you independent of OS. Alien::GMP has no affect upon systems which already have GMP installed via the OS, so Alien::GMP will only build libgmp from source when it is actually necessary. Will you please consider adding Alien::GMP as a dependency of Math::GMP? Thanks, ~ Flavio. PS - I will be happy to make a pull request if there is an official GitHub repo? PPS - There is also a parallel request to make it a dependency for Math::BigInt::GMP, led by William Braswell. I copied almost all of the text for this ticket from William's actually. Here is the placeholder GitHub Issue where this started: https://github.com/rsimoes/Alien-GMP/issues/6

Thanks for updating, I missed it in the first place. I sent a pull request https://github.com/turnstep/Math-GMP/pull/1 I generated a package (temporarily removing "[Signature]") and tried to install it in two different systems, one with gmp already installed and one with a clean initial state (fresh docker container based on Alpine Linux), it worked as expected in both cases.
