Portable multiple-precision integer library. The interface is loosely based on XySSL's MPI library. The implementation was written from scratch based on the algorithms described in Menezes, van Oorschot and Vanstone: _Handbook of Applied Cryptography_, CRC Press, 1996. The full text of the HAC is available for personal use at http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/. This implementation sacrifices performance for portability and readability, but attempts have been made to structure it in such a way that critical portions can easily be replaced with machine-dependent optimized versions. The code assumes a 64-bit machine or a 32-bit machine where 64-bit integer arithmetic is supported but not necessarily efficient; 64-bit operations are used only to simplify overflow handling.
