A big help for all of us would be to understand what needs, exactly, you 
have.  What are the requirements for this class/package?  Given that no 
one has offered anything besides BigDecimal, it might be moot as there 
doesn't seem to be a lot out there, but it might help narrow down any 
potential choices.

Or you could contract out for it. :D :D  Sounds like a fun little side 
project.  We'd still need those requirements though.
