Decimal Floating Point for glibc

[Dwayne Grant McConnell]

I'm working on patches to implement Decimal Floating Point in glibc. More 
informaion on DFP in general can be found at

http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal/

and the most recent draft of the changes to the C standard is available at

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1107.htm

I'm planning to implement that draft and then make changes as the draft 
changes. I'm assuming there will be no interest in merging this work into 
glibc until the standard is ratified. At this point I'm planning to 
implement as an add-on unless there is a reason not to that I'm not aware 
of. Are there any guidelines anywhere on add-ons other than the info in 
the FAQ?

Thanks,
Dwayne
