OK, now that we have decided that floating point == doesn't make a lot of sense
and that feq(x, y, fuzz) is the way to go, does anybody have an *efficient*
implementation of feq. I have an application spending between 10% and 15% of
its time doing feq, and I would really like to speed up this routine. Any
volunteers?

					Thanks,
