+/* 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.

+/* find the n'th root of an integer
+ *
+ * Result found such that (c)**b <= a and (c+1)**b > a
+ *
+ * This algorithm uses Newton's approximation
+ * x[i+1] = x[i] - f(x[i])/f'(x[i])
+ * which will find the root in log(N) time where
+ * each step involves a fair bit.  This is not meant to
+ * find huge roots [square and cube, etc].
