How would you code addition of arbitrarily wide strings in C language?
For example

   x'88 00 00 00 88 00 00 00 00 22 00 00 00 33 00 00 E4'
+  x'88 00 00 00 F1 00 11 00 11 00 22 00 22 00 22 00 33'
   ------------------------------------------------------
=  x'10 00 00 01 79 00 11 00 11 22 22 00 22 33 22 01 17'
