Re: libm-test rewrite

Many thanks to Andreas.  Good job.  I feel much better about this form
for the test suite.  I haven't given it a full run yet but I managed
to create the ULPs file for x86.

There are only three more things to do as far as I'm concerned:

- write documentation on how to generate initial error files for a new
  architecture

- add a mode where the test program complains even if the error is smaller
  than the one from the error file.  This should be enabled for all
  development and test releases.

- somehow generate from the error files a table where for each function
  and each architecture the maximal error is listed.  I've mentioned
  before that this is a requirement for a Unix library.
