SHAR of modified p5-Math-BigInt port

The Math::BigInt - Arbitrary size integer math package tries to overload the
'..' operator.  This is not allowed/supported by Perl 5.18 (and earlier, I
suspect).  In the BigInt.pm module there are comments to this effect.

This patch comments out the overload '..' operation.  If overloading of '..' is
allowed at some point then this issue may need to be revisited.

Attached is a SHAR file of the modified p5-Math-BigInt port.
