Dave Hanson points out that I can get float constants rather than doubles by appending an "F".

I should have explained further ... ;-). I'm in the unfortunate position of having to keep
my code in a state where it can be compiled by ANSI and non-ANSI compilers. Adding
#ifdef __STDC round prototypes etc is bearable, but conditionally compiling a "f" after
all the floating point constants would get silly. Thus I'd like that option.
