	I seem to remember hearing that under 2.0 the floating point libraries
would be able to detect the presence of an 881/882 and use it if it's there.
(Or is this one specific fp library?).  If this is true, and 2.0 actually
starts shipping soon, Maple will have 881 support whether they like it or not.

	I agree that it sounds just plain stupid to produce a mathematical
program with no FPU support.  I've never done any FP work on a system with
a coprocessor, but isn't it just a matter of changing a #include or an
openlibrary() call somewhere?
