+/* LibTomMath, multiple-precision integer library -- Tom St Denis
+ *
+ * LibTomMath is a library that provides multiple-precision
+ * integer arithmetic as well as number theoretic functionality.
+ *
+ * The library was designed directly after the MPI library by
+ * Michael Fromberger but has been written from scratch with
+ * additional optimizations in place.
+ *
+ * The library is free for all purposes without any express
+ * guarantee it works.

+/* performs one Fermat test.
+ * 
+ * If "a" were prime then b**a == b (mod a) since the order of
+ * the multiplicative sub-group would be phi(a) = a-1.  That means
+ * it would be the same as b**(a mod (a-1)) == b**1 == b (mod a).
+ *
+ * Sets result to 1 if the congruence holds, or zero otherwise.
