This wasn't a submission, it was a posting.

I *did* do a submission about 4 months ago, but it was rejected on the
basis that the NPX option was supposed to move to referring ONLY to the
emulation seperate from intrinsic FPU support, so you could pull the
emulator out without pulling out the emulator/FPU switch code (I
believe Bruce was working on it).
