Cautious introduction of a patch that started from

SF 560379:  Karatsuba multiplication.
Lots of things were changed from that.  This needs a lot more testing,
for correctness and speed, the latter especially when bit lengths are
unbalanced.  For now, the Karatsuba code gets invoked if and only if
envar KARAT exists.
