 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/216142
 
 Log:
   Explain some of the reasons that fpsetprec() is unlikely to work as
   one might expect.  (These functions have already been deprecated for
   many years.)

  functions provide functionality unavailable on many platforms.
  At present, they are implemented only on the i386 and amd64 platforms.
 +Changing precision isn't a supported feature:
 +it may be ineffective when code is compiled to take advantage of SSE,
