I recently tried this implementation without any success. I 
always got conflicts.

I had the same problem. I had to read a decimal(32,8) value from 
my database. I figured out that the best solution for my case is 
to simply use the phobos implementation for BigInt. I'm simply 
converting the decimal-value to an integer (using multiplication) 
and use this instead of solving all the conflicts of the library 
above.
