/*
* Milan Tomic had trouble compiling this file on Microsoft
* Visual C++ 6 because, in the libraries that come with
* Visual C++ 6, the `std::string::push_back' method apparently
* does not exist.  To get around the problem, I rewrote
* `BigUnsignedInABase::operator std::string' (at the bottom
* of this file) so it doesn't use `push_back'.
