OK, I have revamped (c) so that it does two conses
for large integers on 32-bit hosts; this removes its
dependency on (b).  I'll send the revised (c) in a followup email.
The uncontroversial changes (a) have some changes too, based on
later discussion with Eli, so I'll send a revised (a) too.

What else needs to be done before it's reasonable to install
something like (b)?
