Notes:

Each column in the matrix corresponds to a number in the factor base     
less than some bound B.  Each row corresponds to a smooth number (able   
to be completely factored over the factor base).  Each value in a row    
binary vector corresponds to the exponent of the factor base mod 2.      
For example:

    smooth numbers: 46, 28, 322

    2^2 * 7^1        = 28                                                
    2^1 * 7^1 * 23^1 = 322

A solution to the matrix is considered to be a set of rows which when    
combined in GF2 produce a null vector. Thus, if you multiply each of     
the smooth numbers which correspond to that particular set of rows you   
will get a number with only even exponents, making it a perfect          
square. In the above example you can see that combining the 3 vectors    
results in a null vector and, indeed, it is a perfect square: 644^2.     
                                                                         
Problem.A: A GF(2) matrix constructed from the exponents of the          
factorization of the smooth numbers over the factor base. A solution of  
this matrix is a kernel (nullspace). Such a solution has a 1/2 chance of 
being a factorization of N.                                              
                                                                         
Problem.aux.factor_base: The factor base used. factor_base(j) corresponds
to column j of the matrix. Note that a given column may or may not have  
nonzero elements in the matrix.                                          
                                                                         
Problem.aux.smooth_number: The smooth numbers, smooth over the factor    
base.  smooth_number(i) corresponds to row i of the matrix.              
                                                                         
Problem.aux.solution: A sample solution to the matrix. Combine, in GF(2) 
the rows with these indicies to produce a solution to the matrix with the
additional property that it factors N (a matrix solution only has 1/2    
probability of factoring N).
