Version 11 of bignum

Bignum v1.0 - a critcl tcl wrapper to libgmp

WHAT: provides these packages:

bigint - which provides wrappers for arbitrary precision integers
bigfloat - which provides wrappers for arbitrary precision floats
bignum - both bigint and bigfloat

WHERE: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=18733
DEPENDENCIES: This works with libgmp3 4.1.1 or similar under Linux; get it from any gnu archive (if you haven't got it). To recompile it, you'll need the latest version of critcl; http://mini.net/sdarchive/ is where you'll find it.
INSTALL: unpack this in /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, or wherever your tcl resides.
AUTHOR: Colin McCormack
LICENSE: It's licensed under GPL - of necessity, as libgmp is.

I've modified bignum to use the latest Critcl and built a cross-platform library Starkit with binaries for Linux, Windows and OSX [L2 ]

To use, either unpack the Starkit and copy the contents of the lib directory into somewere on your auto_path, or just source it directly

   tclkit
   % source bignum.kit
   % package require bignum
   % bigint::add 1111111111111111111111111111 2222222222222222222222222222
   3333333333333333333333333333

The binaries on Windows and Linux are statically linked against libgmp (and therefore self-contained) but I couldn't get this working on OSX so you'll need to have gmp installed on your LDPATH to use bignum on OSX. I'll have another go later.
