Subject: pack()ing Bignums

I have a 128-bit Bignum that I need to pack into a binary string in
order to pass it to MD5.digest(). But there doesn't appear to be a
format for Array#pack that would accommodate such a large number; the
biggest appears to be "L", which is only a quarter the size I need.

What's the best way to do this?
