  Backport of r59456:59458 from py3k to trunk
  Issue #1580: New free format floating point representation based on "Floating-Point Printer Sample Code", by Robert G. Burger. For example repr(11./5) now returns '2.2' instead of '2.2000000000000002'.

  Thanks to noam for the patch! I had to modify doubledigits.c slightly to support X64 and IA64 machines on Windows. I also added the new file to the three project files.

  Patch #1643738 by Ulisses Furquim -- make the is_tripped variable
  in signalmodule.c more robust.  Includes Martin von Loewis's suggestion
  to set is_tripped after .tripped.

  The new float repr causes too much trouble and pain. I'm disabling the feature until we have sorted out the issues on all machines. 64bit machines seem to have issues and Guido has reported even worse.
  Guido: It's pretty bad actually -- repr(1e5) comes out as '1.0'... Ditto for
  repr(1eN) for most N... Both in 2.6 and in 3.0...
