I don't see what will need to be changed for C9X, except moving the 
prototypes to the ANSI section of the headers.  I don't think users will

Or am I missing something?

No, I didn't test it at all.  I simply looked at the source.  I guess I 
overlooked something, but it seemed to me that the result of fscale is 
not checked against the maximum possible number that a double can hold.
