Well... This isn't the ideal programmatic approach, but I'd be in favour of
the soft-float compile, with a notice about which versions of the chip are
supported and which aren't. The SoftwareFPU documentation lists the number,
making it an easy determination.

On the other hand, supporting all 68LC040s is the ultimate goal... I'd
think that the best solution (for now) would be to allow for either option
when compiling. I don't know how difficult this would be to implement,
however.
