https://gist.github.com/890669 is a more detailed plan.  Please feel
free to comment on it.  I plan on covering only the integer related
functions and am aiming for 100% test coverage.  Docs include inline
POD, comments and, if there is time, a tutorial to accompany an
example or two.  I'll provide some basic examples of HLLs using GMP
and am open to suggestions of which HLL people would like to see.

If I finish ahead of time, there are plenty of avenues to continue
work - rational and float functions in GMP, tutorials or more advanced
examples, porting other advanced math libraries, and even libraries
for HLLs.

Give it a look over and let me know what y'all think

Thanks,

Bob
