-/*----- Revision history --------------------------------------------------* 
- *
- * $Log: mpbarrett.c,v $
- * Revision 1.9  2004/04/01 12:50:09  mdw
- * Add cyclic group abstraction, with test code.  Separate off exponentation
- * functions for better static linking.  Fix a buttload of bugs on the way.
- * Generally ensure that negative exponents do inversion correctly.  Add
- * table of standard prime-field subgroups.  (Binary field subgroups are
- * currently unimplemented but easy to add if anyone ever finds a good one.)
- *
- * Revision 1.8  2001/06/16 13:00:20  mdw
- * Use the generic exponentiation functions.
- *
- * Revision 1.7  2001/04/19 18:25:26  mdw
- * Use sliding-window exponentiation.
- *
- * Revision 1.6  2000/10/08 12:03:44  mdw
- * (mpbarrett_reduce): Cope with negative numbers.
- *
- * Revision 1.5  2000/07/29 17:04:33  mdw
- * Change to use left-to-right bitwise exponentiation.  This will improve
- * performance when the base is small.
- *
- * Revision 1.4  2000/06/17 11:45:09  mdw
- * Major memory management overhaul.  Added arena support.  Use the secure
- * arena for secret integers.  Replace and improve the MP management macros
- * (e.g., replace MP_MODIFY by MP_DEST).
- *
- * Revision 1.3  1999/12/12 15:08:52  mdw
- * Don't bother shifting %$q$% in @mpbarrett_reduce@, just skip the least
- * significant digits.
- *
- * Revision 1.2  1999/12/11 01:50:56  mdw
- * Improve initialization slightly.
- *
- * Revision 1.1  1999/12/10 23:21:59  mdw
- * Barrett reduction support: works with even moduli.
