/* 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.

 * 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.
