Some news on my front.

This still existed? :-)

Here's my take on this: the bitset library should be merged with the 
bigint library, and the whole kit and kaboodle should be built on top of 
GMP for performance (especially the bigint stuff).  This necessitates 
extending GMP.  I have some code written that I need to clean up and 
submit to the GMP group, and then I need to look at hosting GMP from 
Ocaml.

- I have a reimplementation of psqueue about 1/3rd the way through debug.  
The interface won't change at all.  The implementation is changing
radically, in a way that radically improves the maintainability (and
testability I comment) of the code.  The goal here is to have the
possibility that some human on the face of this earth other than me could,
if dire need arose, actually understand the code :-).  The new code 
structure is also signfigantly shorter- the same behavior was implemented 
with about 1/3rd less code.  Which is made up for by the fact that I've 
added new code I've intended to for a while- primarily Enum support.
