The PUBLIC/PRIVATE things are residuals from ancient time when I wanted to 
actually have C++ methods in the fpu class. Well, I will s/PUBLIC 
inline/static inline/ everywhere. The other bits should not conflict.

They are now. cvs update -d :-)

OK, I will look again on a sparc host but I am not sure they had native 
sizeof(long double) == 16. I don't have any mips handy. Anyway, I will try 
to fool locally. Check cvs soon.
