GnuPG comes with a tool named mpicalc which does not get installed but
lives in the tools directory of the distribution. It is a RPN
calculater much like dc(1) but uses the big integer lib GnuPG uses.
Not much documentation but quite usable for doing some experiments.

I am not sure but I have seen similar tools with other math libraries.
