Well, these days I'm having quite some progress with Linux von VAX.
'long double' is currently the same as 'double', both being
implemented by d_floating (or g_floating, if requested). I'm thinking
about switching 'long double' to h_floating, at least for the Linux
port. So I'm really interested in having this for h_float, too.
