I ended up creating a patch that lets the library be in a namespace,
since I needed to do that anyway.

If I wasn't going to send it in, I'd have just put everything in a
namespace with a local patch and been done with it, but instead I set
things up so a simple macro can control if there's a namespace and if
so, what its name is.  It might be wiser to just put the library in
namespace "bigint" (or whatever) and simplify the whole thing, but I
don't know what other library users are doing.

This patch is cleanest if applied after the 64-bit patch.

Anyway, see attached.

Oh, and:

I, Brad Spencer, the sole author of the attached patch for the Big
Integer Library, waive my copyright to it, placing it in the public
domain.  The patch comes with absolutely no warranty.
