Okay, it's done. bignum et. al. are now real pragmas. And it was easier than 
I thought. The only downside is that the new in_effect() routine will only 
work with Perl v5.9.4 or better, but this isn't that important, anyway, and 
maybe somehow we can later make it work for older Perl's, too.

In addition to making them pragmas, I also fixed the problem that you 
couldn't do:

	use bigint;
	use bignum;

without getting warned that "inf" and "NaN" got redefined. There isn't much 
sense in actually doing it, but then, there doesn't seem to be any harm, 
either.

Please find attached a patch to blead, and note that this patch adds 4 new 
test files.

All the best,

Tels
