Dr. Mike Rosing's Big Float project.
Dr. Mike Rosing wrote this in 2000 and has been kind to let us use it for open source software under these terms (cut-down e-mail):

Howdy Nico,
I never thought about it before. Since you are an open source, why don't
you just attach it to your stuff with the same license as the rest of your
code and you can attribute me as the origin, then modify the hell out of
it! If it helps your open source project, then I'm proud to be a
contributor. That's the whole point of open source - lots of people
contribute a little bit to make something big.
[...]
Patience, persistence, truth,
Dr. mike
The project I mean to use this for is https://github.com/stedolan/jq . See its COPYING file file, copied here and modified to attribute Dr. Mike Rosing.
Currently this is incomplete. At this time this is just the sources as found on Dr. Mike Rosing's page. There is no build system, there are no tests.
