I agree that it should be autogenerated, but what I have 
currently is mostly portable as it uses the appropriate 
constants from cfloat and climits rather than hard coded 
values.  I don't think it is pointless to provide the 
specializations in this fashion -- its just not a state 
that is ready for contribution to the compiler.
