Subject: Patch: Add BID decimal floating point format

The enclosed patch adds configuration support in the GCC compiler to be
able to use either the DPD or BID decimal floating point, and is a joint
effort between Intel, AMD, and IBM.  The original patch is over 400k,
which is larger than mailer will accept on gcc.gnu.org, so I have
bzip2'ed the patch to make it much smaller.

Note, several of the files in libdecnumber are moved down to
libdecnumber/dpd.  If you apply this patch, you should use the -E option
to delete these files.  Within my subversion tree, I have used svn move
to move the files.

Are there any objections or comments to patch?
