#2 Bitcalculating extension for (g)calctool

[Dr. Werner Fink]

just as already said in the mail to Rich I've done an
extension
for calctool-2.4pl13 which may also a nice to have feature
for successor gcalctool. The patch in the attachment
implemenst a further window for displaying the bitvalue
of the current displayed number with buttons for every bit.

In other words: if the window is pop up, any typed number
regardless of its basic is shown with highlighted buttons
representing the bit value. The user is able to change
directly the bit values which is also visible in the
changed
value in the number display.

For an impression see

In the patch the cpp macro USE_BITCALC is used to
switch the feature on or off at compile time. Maybe some
lines of the code can be used for implementing the
Bitcalculating extension in the scientific format.
