  The ieee754.h file is really not important at all. The only case
where it would matter is if you are storing Dvectors using marshal or
PStore and you want to make sure the resulting files can be carried
across different architectures. I'm not an expert in these kind of
things, so the ieee754.h file found in Debian seemed to provide a
decent solution (much more compact than Ruby's native way of
marshalling doubles). You can ignore this completely.

  Cheers,

      Vincent
