Oops.  That zip file is missing some files.  Look for qd-2007-05-31.zip,
which adds the missing files and has a few additional updates for
portability.  (I was able to build and run this on LW/ppc.)

To check that things are working, compile and load qd-test.lisp and run
(qdi::all-tests)  The number of bits of accuracy should be around 212
bits for all cases except too, where it is known the algorithm is not
accurate

Sorry about that,
