Ok, the attached patch should do just that.  I've removed everything
that I had changed in limit*.h, all the config/float*.h, and all the
ginclude/*.h changes.  I couldn't find anything else that had been
installed on my system, and there wasn't a good way to see in the
makefiles what was installed.  

Is there a better way to find out which headers are installed?
