If you decide to research specialized algorithms for calculating logs with
a variety of bases, it may make sense to start trying to add one to the
numeric-functions package [*] before going for base. Aleksey Khudyakov has
been doing a lot of work on that package of late, and would likely be able
to help you work out potential issues.
