Please rename bignumber on npm to something else

Hi

Would you be so kind as to either unpublish or rename your npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/bignumber ?

Right now it's pointing to an unexisting repository: https://github.com/eschnou/node-rsa, of which I suspect it's this one.

Which in turn, I think, is actually a fork of https://github.com/JoeDoyle23/node-bignumber.

There's another package on NPM called bignumber.js which might copy/rename its package to bignumber.

So that it causes less confusion when dumbass developers like me go npm install bignumber and expect to be using bignumber.js.

Thanks in advance. :)

I think it's best to unpublish https://www.npmjs.com/package/bignumber. My version is published under node-bignumber, which is more up to date. I would do it, but I only have access to this repo, and not the npm package.

Pinging @eschnou to see if he can unpublish it.
