[patches] libdfp

Ryan --

A while back, you asked about hosting libdfp in the EGLIBC repository,
but as an independent library, rather than as an EGLIBC add-on.  I'm
sorry nobody got back to you.  I think that's because nobody knew quite
what to say.

I'd like to understand better why making this an add-on is the wrong
thing.  It seems like a natural fit, and my understanding is that the
API you're implementing is part of a C TR, and therefore likely to be a
required part of the C library in the future.  Can you explain why some
people feel that just making it an add-on isn't the right thing?

Thanks,
