Version 7 of Proper integers implementation

Lars H, 8 Nov 2004: This page was created as an adjunct to Proper integers for Tcl 8.5 or 9.0 to house some code that aimed to implement the ideas there. A more recent and readable (but still incomplete) version of that can be found in [L1 ].

Things completed:

Implementation of a bigint Tcl_Obj type.
Procedures for + and - using SLM-hexadecimal representation.

Things half-done:

Implementation of a bigint subtype SLM-hexadecimal with internal representation.
Building using CriTcl

Things hardly even started:

Other operations

I wonder - I recently ran into a reference to http://freshmeat.net/projects/hfloat/ which proports to provide support exteme precision floating point as well. I don't recall hearing anyone ask for huge floating point though; only integers.
