Build 21.0 betas with `--with-minimal-tagbits'. It raises the 28-bit
limit to 31-bit.
We're getting somewhere. :-)

That would be cool, but it's a project definitely more complex than
just "linking with GMP".
Ok. I'll start by looking around for MP-libraries in elisp, or writing
one from scratch, instead.
Still, native MP functionality in XEmacs would be very nice, and I was
surprised it didn't already exist.
