[svn-r9755] Purpose: New feature
Description: Start to support software conversion between long double and all integers. Solution: No major changes to the algorithm. Changes to configure is to exclude SGI for long double to integers test because there're too many problems in their compiler. Platforms tested: h5committest, modi4, fuss, Teragrid, arabica Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
