Marc:

I bit the bullet and did the optimal expt, you'll be amazed.  It  
still is not tested extensively, but at least the code is  
straightforward.  So now we have things like:

 > (##my-expt 8/27 1/3)
2/3

In the process, I discovered that ##exact-int.nth-root was buggy as  
hell and fixed it (and tested it).  I trust it now.

The new routines begin with ##my-...

If other people want to test ##my-expt, that would help.  Put it in a  
sibling directory to the lib directory in the gambc40b15 directory to  
compile it.

I removed srfi-56 and Alex Shinn from the CC list ;-).

Brad
