Hmm - now that I come to think about it - there used to
be a UNIX library called 'libmint' - that used multiple
integers (hence mint) in an array to do high-precision
math.

That doesn't seem to exist in Linux - which is suprising
because (IIRC) libmint was used in 'bc' and 'dc' - which
both do arbitary precision math using those techniques.

So, I suggest you take a look at the 'bc' source code.
