	I believe Manx allows you to use the FFP and IEEE rt-libraries via
float/double declarations.  W/ Lattice , you have to make the calls manually.
Manx wins hands-down on floating point operations.  From the sorry state
Lattice's math library is in, it looks like they simply ported it from
the IBM (or other) version... extremely slow.
