I've added the MPFR library test code to the battery of tests I perform
before pushing commits to the kForth repos.

Just a side notice:
I implemented a MPFR BiGFloat wordlist using an extra stack for
mpfr_struct pointer structures. The mpfr wordlist is almost 1:1
equivalent to the standard Forth fp-number wordlist. This seamless
integration into the Forth environment greatly improves coding
productivity, e.g. when converting code from fp-numbers to bigfloat
numbers for numerical integration.
