Hi, Ryan.  The EGLIBC repository policy permits code not assigned to
the FSF on branches, but only FSF-assigned code on the trunk.  So I
think IBM should go ahead and commit libdfp to a branch in the EGLIBC
repository, under some appropriate name under
svn+ssh://eglibc/org/branches.  (If you have any Subversion usage
questions, let me know.)  Then we can review and revise from there,
get things approved, get things assigned, and then merge to trunk.
