Re: another baby step - namespace adjustments

Well, yeah.  But if doing it the "right" way is just as easy, we can
avoid potential headaches in the future (we've been fiddling with math
routines for a long time in djgpp-land, trying to get all the edge
conditions right).  Forcing our own sqrt makes libiberty bad for apps
which need exactly the right floating point behavior - it's unlike
integer ops which we can emulate exactly.

But we're quickly running out of easy options...
