Usually I'm the first to punt to a C or OS API to do any work from 
Dylan - any time saved from my point of view by re-using others work is 
great.

But if you punt to the C API with the float routines, then it is more 
difficult to use from FunDev. As far as I know FunDev has no reliance 
on the Microsoft C run time library - only the Win32 API. Are there 
Win32 API functions for dealing with floats?
