         <p>
            This page documents library components that are all basically just implementations of 
            mathematical functions or algorithms that don't fit in any of the other pages
            of the dlib documentation.  So this includes things like checksums, cryptographic hashes, 
            sorting, etc.

         <description>
            This object represents an arbitrary precision unsigned integer.  It's pretty simple.  
            It's interface is just like a normal int, you don't have to tell it how much memory
            to use or anything unusual.  It just goes :)

               <file>dlib/bigint/bigint_kernel_1.h</file>
               <description> 
                  This implementation is done using an array of unsigned shorts.  It is also reference counted.  
                  For further details see the above link.  Also note that kernel_2 should be 
      faster in almost every case so you should really just use that version of the bigint object.
