On the day I posted my original article, I learned that C Programming
Utilities Issue 4.2 is basically a merging of Issue 4.1 and C-FP+.
C-FP+ compiles directly to math coprocessor operations while Issue 4.1
compiles to FP function calls that check yes/no for the coprocessor
and use the emulator if not.  It appears from the "-V" output lines that
4.2 calls a different compiler-proper depending on cc's argv[0].
