// Program to prove primality of Mersenne primes using the Lucas-Lehmer test.
// This proves primality.
// 
//  Note:  The contrived use of isStrongPseudoprime is now totally obsolete
// because Frink's isPrime routine now automatically recognizes Mersenne
// primes and performs a Lucas-Lehmer test on them, proving their primality
// in approximately the same time as a single round of isStrongPseudoprime[]
// might run.
