BitIntegers.jl

A comment on stackoverflow implies that one can map big integers such as Int256 to LLVM instructions. I've been trying out BitIntegers, and ran into some cases where it seems to become very slow when converting between types results in a call to some GMP function. My hope is that the LLVM integers would be faster than GMP. I'll make a pull request if I manage to determine the exact problem and find a solution, but likely will not have the bandwidth for this.
