Algorithmic changes
* Input of numbers in bases 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 is now done in linear bit
complexity as opposed to O(N^2). Useful for all kinds of persistency.
Implementation changes
* Fixed several bugs in the integer input and output routines that could be
blamed for random crashes in the following cases: output in base 32 for
quite large numbers, input in base 2 for fixnums and input in base 3 for
fixnums on a 64 bit target.
* Fixed crash when radix specifiers were used in input streams.
* Speed up on x86_64 and ia64 by adding some inline assembly.
Other changes
* Fixes for compilation on MacOS X and little endian Mips.

Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".

* Rich set of number classes
* Elementary, logical, transcendental functions
* C++ as implementation language brings efficiency, type safety,
and algebraic syntax
* Memory efficiency
* Speed efficiency
* Interoperability
