Re: Forwarded patch for modular exponentiation support (GMP powm)

[Eric Hanchrow]

Once again.  Kevin, you'll notice I have reverted to my earlier
method of initializing the mpz_t temporaries in the main function,
and setting them in to `coerce_to_big'.  That's because I cannot think
of any other way to have them available to be cleaned up if there's
an error.

But users will not now with glad cries glom on to a language that
gives them no more than what Scheme or Pascal gave them.
