NO!

This has been discussed before, and that was _not_ the conclusion that
was come to.

* put it in something like:

	src/lib/libfp (or something similar)

* use .PATH (or whatever) in libc to pull it in.  (alternately, create
  it in libc and use .PATH to create an external libfp.)


For ports which need it as part of libc, they get it.  Other ports
should be able to use it outside of libc _if they wish_.

Ask ross for more details, I think he remembers...
