I have been wanting to do BigInteger (followed by BigDecimal) based on
my gnu.math.Integer and gnu.math.MPN classes.  One big advantage is
that it would be easy to configure libgcj so it could (optionally) use
the fast low-level libgmp functions.

See http://sourceware.cygnus.com/kawa/api/gnu/math/package-summary.html .

I someone gets the urge to do this, I'll be glad to help.
Otherwise, I'll hopefully get to it one of these days.
