/**
 * Pure-PHP arbitrary precision integer arithmetic library.
 *
 * Supports base-2, base-10, base-16, and base-256 numbers.  Uses the GMP or BCMath extensions, if available,
 * and an internal implementation, otherwise.
 *
 * PHP versions 4 and 5
 *
 * {@internal (all DocBlock comments regarding implementation - such as the one that follows - refer to the 
 * {@link MATH_BIGINTEGER_MODE_INTERNAL MATH_BIGINTEGER_MODE_INTERNAL} mode)
 *
 * Math_BigInteger uses base-2**26 to perform operations such as multiplication and division and
 * base-2**52 (ie. two base 2**26 digits) to perform addition and subtraction.  Because the largest possible
 * value when multiplying two base-2**26 numbers together is a base-2**52 number, double precision floating
 * point numbers - numbers that should be supported on most hardware and whose significand is 53 bits - are
 * used.  As a consequence, bitwise operators such as >> and << cannot be used, nor can the modulo operator %,
 * which only supports integers.  Although this fact will slow this library down, the fact that such a high
 * base is being used should more than compensate.
 *
 * When PHP version 6 is officially released, we'll be able to use 64-bit integers.  This should, once again,
 * allow bitwise operators, and will increase the maximum possible base to 2**31 (or 2**62 for addition /
 * subtraction).
 *
 * Numbers are stored in {@link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness little endian} format.  ie.
 * (new Math_BigInteger(pow(2, 26)))->value = array(0, 1)
 *
 * Useful resources are as follows:
 *
 *  - {@link http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/about/chap14.pdf Handbook of Applied Cryptography (HAC)}
 *  - {@link http://math.libtomcrypt.com/files/tommath.pdf Multi-Precision Math (MPM)}
 *  - Java's BigInteger classes.  See /j2se/src/share/classes/java/math in jdk-1_5_0-src-jrl.zip
 *
 * Here's an example of how to use this library:
 * <code>
 * <?php
 *    include('Math/BigInteger.php');
 *
 *    $a = new Math_BigInteger(2);
 *    $b = new Math_BigInteger(3);
 *
 *    $c = $a->add($b);
 *
 *    echo $c->toString(); // outputs 5
 * ?>

     * @internal The most naive approach to modular exponentiation has very unreasonable requirements, and
     *    and although the approach involving repeated squaring does vastly better, it, too, is impractical
     *    for our purposes.  The reason being that division - by far the most complicated and time-consuming
     *    of the basic operations (eg. +,-,*,/) - occurs multiple times within it.
     *
     *    Modular reductions resolve this issue.  Although an individual modular reduction takes more time
     *    then an individual division, when performed in succession (with the same modulo), they're a lot faster.
     *
     *    The two most commonly used modular reductions are Barrett and Montgomery reduction.  Montgomery reduction,
     *    although faster, only works when the gcd of the modulo and of the base being used is 1.  In RSA, when the
     *    base is a power of two, the modulo - a product of two primes - is always going to have a gcd of 1 (because
     *    the product of two odd numbers is odd), but what about when RSA isn't used?
     *
     *    In contrast, Barrett reduction has no such constraint.  As such, some bigint implementations perform a
     *    Barrett reduction after every operation in the modpow function.  Others perform Barrett reductions when the
     *    modulo is even and Montgomery reductions when the modulo is odd.  BigInteger.java's modPow method, however,
     *    uses a trick involving the Chinese Remainder Theorem to factor the even modulo into two numbers - one odd and
     *    the other, a power of two - and recombine them, later.  This is the method that this modPow function uses.
     *    {@link http://islab.oregonstate.edu/papers/j34monex.pdf Montgomery Reduction with Even Modulus} elaborates.

     * it, "the idea [behind folding] is to find a value x' such that x (mod m) = x' (mod m), with x' being smaller than x."
     *
     * Unfortunately, the "Barrett Reduction with Folding" algorithm described in thesis-149.pdf is not, as written, all that
     * usable on account of (1) its not using reasonable radix points as discussed in
     * {@link http://math.libtomcrypt.com/files/tommath.pdf#page=162 MPM 6.2.2} and (2) the fact that, even with reasonable
     * radix points, it only works when there are an even number of digits in the denominator.  The reason for (2) is that
     * (x >> 1) + (x >> 1) != x / 2 + x / 2.  If x is even, they're the same, but if x is odd, they're not.  See the in-line

     * As for why we do all the bitmasking...  strange things can happen when converting from floats to ints. For
     * instance, on some computers, var_dump((int) -4294967297) yields int(-1) and on others, it yields 
     * int(-2147483648).  To avoid problems stemming from this, we use bitmasks to guarantee that ints aren't
     * auto-converted to floats.  The outermost bitmask is present because without it, there's no guarantee that
     * the "residue" returned would be the so-called "common residue".  We use fmod, in the last step, because the
     * maximum possible $x is 26 bits and the maximum $result is 16 bits.  Thus, we have to be able to handle up to
     * 40 bits, which only 64-bit floating points will support.

            not all numbers would be equally likely. some would be more likely than others.

            creating a whole new random number until you find one that is within the range doesn't work
