Hmmm. mprec originally came with fdlibm from libgcj and we regarded them
as "upstream", but they are now relying on us as upstream. It looks like
the original mprec imported into libgcj actually through newlib
(http://sourceware.org/newlib/) - notice that one maintainer! :)

They do have an updated version of mprec.h and mprec.c at:
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/newlib/libc/stdlib/?cvsroot=src

Now we need a volunteer to merge our local changes back to that version
and then import a new mprec.

Cheers,

Mark
