Re: [patches] Fw: What license is acceptable for libdecnumber

Joseph,

I agree.  We intend to incorporate the code in the existing overrides
into the base files using conditionals.

Jim do you want patches to the base files to accompany the initial
libdfp patch or can we provide a patch at a later time to eliminate the
overrides and add the conditionalized code to the base files?
