The Implementation of how many places Pi goes out there is up to the
compiler's manufacturer.  All the ANSI standards say it only has to
exist, but to my knowledge, it doesn't define how far it has to go.

For example, I know that gcc defines Pi in math.h differently than in
MSVC (at least what I gather from the Quake 2 gamesx86.dll open source).
