Will do. I started searching already, but this machine is getting pretty slow so I really do need to get around to finishing up with these open windows (which probably involves getting around to a link-sausage entry or two, among other things) or clear a space to sit in front of another computer...
I kicked base pi around just a little and discussed it with a mathematician. He thinks it would be totally unmanagable for integers above three.
I tentatively conclude that you wouldn't use integer digits--you'd use formulas. Also that there might be aliens who were so good at math that they'd do non-integer bases for the fun of it--it would be like making doilies.
