 I'm surprised that you all seem to miss it, but bignums cannot
be
 added as a module, because they require additional support in the
 Lisp engine, as well as changes all over XEmacs. 
I wasn't thinking about adding a elisp type for bignums (I guess this
is what you're refeering to?) but instead have the MP-routines use a
internal representation (a vector containg bytes or something) and
have a function like gmp-print for printing the numbers as a string.

GMP works like this in C so this would be the most natural solution.
