 *			bignum_copy ()
 *
 * Copy a bignum from in to out.
 * If the output is shorter than the input, copy lower-order littlenums.
 * Return 0 or the number of significant littlenums dropped.
 * Assumes littlenum arrays are densely packed: no unused chars between
 * the littlenums. Uses memcpy() to move littlenums, and wants to
 * know length (in chars) of the input bignum.
