-The "libnum" library implements exact-precision arithmetic on
-big integers and on rationals.
-
-This library is derived from Valerie Menissie-Morain's implementation
-of rational arithmetic for Caml V3.1 (INRIA).  Xavier Leroy (INRIA)
-did the Caml Light port.  Victor Manuel Gulias Fernandez did the
-initial Caml Special Light port.  Pierre Weis did most of the
-maintenance and bug fixing.
-
-Initially, the low-level big integer operations were provided by the
-BigNum package developed by Bernard Serpette, Jean Vuillemin and
-Jean-Claude Herve (INRIA and Digital PRL).  License issues forced us to
-replace the BigNum package.  The current implementation of low-level
-big integer operations is due to Xavier Leroy.
-
-This library is documented in "The CAML Numbers Reference Manual" by
-Valerie Menissier-Morain, technical report 141, INRIA, july 1992,
-available at ftp://ftp.inria.fr/INRIA/publication/RT/RT-0141.ps.gz

-USAGE:
-
-To use the bignum library from your programs, just do
-
-    ocamlc <options> nums.cma <.cmo and .ml files>
-or
-    ocamlopt <options> nums.cmxa <.cmx and .ml files>
-
-for the linking phase.
-
-If you'd like to have the bignum functions available at toplevel, do
-
-    ocamlmktop -o ocamltopnum <options> nums.cma <.cmo and .ml files>
-    ./ocamltopnum
-
-As an example, try:
-
-        open Num;;
-        let rec fact n =
-          if n = 0 then Int 1 else mult_num (num_of_int n) (fact(n-1));;
-        string_of_num(fact 1000);;

-PROCESSOR-SPECIFIC OPTIMIZATIONS:
-
-When compiled with GCC, the low-level primitives use "inline extended asm"
-to exploit useful features of the target processor (additions and
-subtractions with carry; double-width multiplication, division).
-Here are the processors for which such optimizations are available:
-  IA32 (x86)       (carry, dwmult, dwdiv, 64-bit ops with SSE2 if available)
-  AMD64 (Opteron)  (carry, dwmult, dwdiv)
-  PowerPC          (carry, dwmult)
-  Alpha            (dwmult)
-  SPARC            (carry, dwmult, dwdiv)
-  MIPS             (dwmult)
