Getting rid of the vjslib dependency is on the todo list. I started looking at it yesterday. I was going to switch to the Microsoft.Scripting.Math.BigInteger class that comes with the DLR and then implement a BigDecimal on top of that. However, there are some missing pieces for our needs, and their implementation does not expose enough internals to allow me to do certain algorithms efficiently. so now I'm contemplating grabbing a copy of Knuth, crossing my fingers, and digging in.
I've watched Mono for a long time, but haven't dived in. I guess now is the time.
