It should not be a problem to add an equivalent to gmp_powm() using bcpow() and
bcmod(). The gmp_random() and gmp_prob_prime() equivalents will require
implementation. Had not look into the Math_BigInt in detail yet, but it will be
OK to merge code. Will email you personally later on, after I've looked at what
you've implemented.
