appro> The "original VMS bignum" is 32-bit VAX code which gets compiled by

appro> The code gets engaged by #defining SIXTY_FOUR_BIT *and* skipping the

That was interesting news (I haven't done much measurement lately).
Note, BTW, that at least with OpenSSL 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a-betax, vms.mar
is never compiled on Alpha. Instead, bn_asm.c is used. I think I'll
turn that back in 0.9.7-dev, that'll definitely make my life simpler
:-).
