Rewrite of Gimp::image_tile

In December 1999 and December 2000 I greatly enhanced and fixed image_tile, a Gimp plugin. The new version can be found here [v0.0.4 from 2000-12-27].

It is subsequently faster than the original (by some order of magnitude, or factor 10 for practical applications), features more options like searching in subdirs, a fast-preview mode and more. The HSV comparing seems broken, but I have no idea wether I broke it or it never worked as intended. See here for an example.

Rewrite of Math::BigInt, Math::BigFloat

Benchmarks are now on a separate page. Here are some memory usage tests.
There are also some pretty pictures for the statistic inclined. There is also an API Timeline available.

Motivation

Why I am doing this? Well, Math::String is the reason behind this all. I wanted simple subclass Math::BigInt, but this was broken (uses scalar ref instead of hash etc). So I was faced with the decision to rewrite BigInt or replicate it more or less inside Math::String. I opted for the former, obviously ;)
