- incorporate and adapt David Gay's dtoa and strtod
   into the Python core
 - on platforms where we can use Gay's code (almost
   all!), repr(float) is based on the shortest
   sequence of decimal digits that rounds correctly.
 - add sys.float_repr_style attribute to indicate
   whether we're using Gay's code or not
 - add autoconf magic to detect and enable SSE2
   instructions on x86/gcc
 - slight change to repr and str:  repr switches
   to exponential notation at 1e16 instead of
   1e17, str switches at 1e11 instead of 1e12
