ACK is a full-fledged floating point compiler, only some library
functions are missing and the 'dumb' cg program cannot handle FP
constants.

Both problems can be solved without access to the ACK sources and
without modifying the compiler itself, and there has been a posting
which contains the material.

I always include the fpp conversion step when compiling with ACK
because it is so fast comparing to the other parts that it does not
count, thus no extra -f flag to cc.
