- incorporate and adapt David Gay's dtoa and strtod
into the Python core
- on platforms where we can use Gay's code (almost
all!), repr(float) is based on the shortest
sequence of decimal digits that rounds correctly.
- add sys.float_repr_style attribute to indicate
whether we're using Gay's code or not
- add autoconf magic to detect and enable SSE2
instructions on x86/gcc
- slight change to repr and str: repr switches
to exponential notation at 1e16 instead of
1e17, str switches at 1e11 instead of 1e12

Issue #4575: fix Py_IS_INFINITY macro to work correctly on x87 FPUs.
It now forces its argument to double before testing for infinity.

Oops. Need to check not only that HAVE_DECL_ISINF is defined, but also
that it's equal to 1. (If isinf isn't defined, HAVE_DECL_ISINF is
defined to be 0, rather than being undefined.)

Add autoconf test to detect x87-style double rounding, as described in
issue #2937. This information can be helpful for diagnosing platform-
specific problems in math and cmath. The result of the test also
serves as a fairly reliable indicator of whether the x87 floating-point
instructions (as opposed to SSE2) are in use on Intel x86/x86_64 systems.

isinf and isnan are macros, not functions; fix configure script
to use AC_CHECK_DECLS instead of AC_CHECK_FUNCS for these.
(See discussion in issue #4506)

I finally got the time to update and merge Mark's and my trunk-math branch. The patch is collaborated work of Mark Dickinson and me. It was mostly done a few months ago. The patch fixes a lot of loose ends and edge cases related to operations with NaN, INF, very small values and complex math.
The patch also adds acosh, asinh, atanh, log1p and copysign to all platforms. Finally it fixes differences between platforms like different results or exceptions for edge cases. Have fun :)

Stupid me. Py_RETURN_NAN should actually return something ...
