  I'm currently testing a build that I did with Uros' patch and manually
configuring with '--enable-decimal-float' and it seems to be going pretty
well, so yes please Jon, if you don't mind spinning another respin.

  BTW, re Ralf's earlier point: for preference please actually /omit/ the
diffs of the generated configure files altogether, we only need to see the
change to the .ac file, because autoconf is very deterministic, and the actual
configure file diffs often contain tons of uninformative noise from the
expansions of all the macros and the changes in error line number reporting(*).

    cheers,
      DaveK
