[Win32] set_str() ignores exponent iff base > 36

      ret2 = mpf_out_str(stdout, 62, 0, x);
      printf("\n%d %d\n", ret1, ret2);
  }

This is indeed a GMP bug.  When I extended base support from 2...36 to
2...62, I failed to realize that strtol--used for converting the
exponent--does not handle bases > 36.  And I apparently failed to
extend the test suite to exercise all allowed exponents.

I think I'll fix this by converting the exponent using GMP's
functions.  It will probably also become faster on most systems.

Thanks for the bug report.  I will provide a patch within a few days.
