BN_mul() correctly constified, avoids two realloc()'s that aren't really necessary and saves memory to boot. This required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition of variants of bn_cmp_words(), bn_add_words() and bn_sub_words() that can take arrays with differing sizes. The test results show a performance that very closely matches the original code from before my constification. This may seem like a very small win from a performance point of view, but if one remembers that the variants of bn_cmp_words(), bn_add_words() and bn_sub_words() are not at all optimized for the moment (and there's no corresponding assembler code), and that their use may be just as non-optimal, I'm pretty confident there are possibilities... This code needs reviewing!
