One more time... the next iteration of the Extended Integer library
(a arbitrary-length integer math library) is now available in the
sandbox (at <https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/xint>) and the
Vault (at
<http://www.boostpro.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=xint.zip&directory=&>).
It incorporates almost all of the suggestions offered on this list.

The changes between this release and the last one are:

* All three types (integer, nothrow_integer, and fixed_integer) have now
been consolidated into a single template, using Boost.Parameter for the
options.

This release, like the last one, includes a slightly older version of
Ion Gaztañaga's preliminary Move library too. I haven't tested it with
the current version, but it should work with that as well. The Move
library is not used by default, and makes only a slight difference to
the speed when thread-safety is enabled.

Still on my immediate to-do list:

* Add an "unsigned" option, so that the mod operation will work as expected.

* Add support for GCC's -fno-exceptions option.

* Add more examples.
