[Big Integer Class]
I wrote one, it will be part of Beta.
Without operator overloading doing large integers is a bit more
"clunky" than with it but the basic interface is:
VPInteger a = new VPInteger(278); // 278 bit integer
VPInteger b = new VPInteger(278); // and another
VPInteger c;
c = a.add(b); // c <- a + b
c = a.mul(b); // c <- a * b;
a.mul(c, b); // c <- a * b (C already is allocated)
... etc ...
