I tried to do this and submitted 2 versions so people could criticize it and 
always had to fight with people that demanded that the library has to be as 
fast as the fastest open source implementation (in this case, GMP.) I can 
not claim that speed, but I implemented a really fast big number library 
using assembler only on the critical paths on the most CPU demanding 
instructions. That was not enough for some boost-ers.
