Big numbers in poke

- Build system work
  + Getting familiar with libgmp
  + Integration with libgmp in configure.ac
  + Documenting the new requirement
  + Portability (maybe gnulib modules)

  + New boxed PVM values for bigs and unsigned bigs (pvm-val.h)
  + New instructions for big numbers
    - Conversion instructions
    - Arithmetic instructions
    - Formatting/printing instructions
    - ...

- IOS work
  + Supporting IO space integers with no size limit.

  + Constant folding (requires gmp)
  + Promotions.
