  Righto, will get a move on with [l]{0-2}rint[lf]? x87 implementation.

  I was experimenting with adding a mechanism to allow target-dependent
alterations/additions to the docs.  In order to make progress quicker in limited
spare time, I'll break it out into separate patches, hopefully post the first
one this evening after work.

  About MD-docs: I figured a reasonable approach would be for targets to have
the option of providing either/and/or/both of 1) a machine-specific include file
that can be included right at the start of math.tex/mathfp.tex to provide a
bunch of @set/@clear definitions that can be tested with @ifset and used to
extend the main menu, and 2) make "make doc" recurse into libm/machine, passing
down TARGETDOC so that the MD makefile can $(CHEW) its source files and/or
concatenate a bunch of @page/@include directives to the generated texi.  Do you
think that's a suitable way to implement it?




    cheers,
