Oh, yes, I have one! On my Arduino Duemilanove, a cool prototyping
platform [ http://arduino.cc/en/Main/arduinoBoardDuemilanove ].
Now I don't have it handy, but as soon as I find it, I'll try mini-gmp on
it :-D

IIRC, with avr-gcc, the unsigned long type exists and it is 32 bits long.
Using them for all operations probably is not the faster way to handle
long integers, because it forces the compiler to use many registers and a
lot of code, but it should work.

In "Atmel Studio 6"... I don't know. But mini-gmp consists of a .c file
and a .h file... It should be manageable.
