23 * bignum_copy ()
25 * Copy a bignum from in to out.
26 * If the output is shorter than the input, copy lower-order littlenums.
27 * Return 0 or the number of significant littlenums dropped.
28 * Assumes littlenum arrays are densely packed: no unused chars between
29 * the littlenums. Uses memcpy() to move littlenums, and wants to
30 * know length (in chars) of the input bignum.
