Applied. But I changed again the code that checks the base. I used the
following:

 digits = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
 if (base > 1)
   {
     if (base <= 36)
       digits = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
     else if (base > 62)
       return NULL;
   }
 else if (base >= -1)
   base = 10;
 else
   {
     base = -base;
     if (base > 36)
       return NULL;
   }

It uses a constant string less, and it saves a branch in the path for
base>1 if compared to the code used in the main library... I think I'll
recycle this code for mpz/get_str.c , mpf/get_str.c and mpz/out_str.c .

Adopted "value_of_a".
