Good idea.  I'd like to get this integrated sooner, rather than later,
and then get a 5.0 release out the door.  It would be good to get some
beta testing in, before final release.

Except that it wouldn't be gone; it would simply always resolve to
the implementation provided in MSVCRT.DLL.  In any case, fesetenv()
depends on it, currently, when selecting the FE_PC53_ENV option.

That's incompatible with us continuing to support GCC's extended
precision (10-byte) long doubles; Microsoft's default is to support
only 8-byte format for both double and (indistinguishably) their
(non-)implementation of long double.  Besides, unless I'm missing
something, I don't think we support, (or even have any interest in
supporting), CLR; (isn't it primarily .Net technology?)
