|Whad'da think?

 (a) <float.h> is already checked by AC_HEADER_STDC in configure, so
     that you don't have to add AC_CHECK_HEADERS.  You just have to
     use STDC_HEADERS instead of HAVE_FLOAT_H.

 (b) Ruby only has double precision float (Float class), why do we
     need these FLT_* constants?

 (c) I still think we should do something other than just ommiting on
     non ANSI platforms if we do check.  Or just abandon non ANSI C
     platforms.
