Hi! I'm a long-time user (and admirer) of the Boost libraries, and I've
just uploaded a new one to the Boost Vault for consideration: the
Extended Integer (XInt) library, a unlimited-precision integer library
that I've been working on for the last few months. I'd like to request a
preliminary review of it, please.

I know I was supposed to "determine interest" first, but I've seen posts
going back at least five years, expressing a desire for such a library,
so I didn't think that was really necessary in this case. :-)

It's not perfect. The code is complete, as is the documentation text.
But it doesn't yet support auto-linking or Windows DLLs, I'm not sure
how the test suite would fit into the Boost test system, and I'm not
sure I've got the Jamfile correct. But it should be sufficient for
experimental use and review, and I'm eager to hear what you guys think
of it.

(I'm writing this in the wee hours of March 26th, I hope it isn't held
in the moderation queue for too long.)
