33 * Revision 1.11 2001/04/03 19:36:05 mdw
34 * Add some simple bitwise operations so that Perl can use them.
35 *
36 * Revision 1.10 2000/10/08 12:03:16 mdw
37 * Provide @mp_eq@ and @MP_EQ@ for rapidly testing equality of two
38 * integers.
39 *
40 * Revision 1.9 2000/07/29 17:03:31 mdw
41 * Add support for left-to-right bitscanning, for use in modular
42 * exponentiation.
43 *
44 * Revision 1.8 2000/06/22 19:02:01 mdw
45 * Add new functions.
46 *
47 * Revision 1.7 2000/06/17 11:45:09 mdw

49 * arena for secret integers. Replace and improve the MP management macros
50 * (e.g., replace MP_MODIFY by MP_DEST).
51 *
52 * Revision 1.6 1999/12/10 23:19:46 mdw
53 * Minor bugfixes. New interface for suggested destinations.
54 *
