+M68040FPSP -- Motorola 68040 floating point support package
+-----------------------------------------------------------

+Modified for RTEMS by Eric Norum (eric@skatter.usask.ca)

+This code can be obtain from the Motorola Engineer's Toolbox WWW page
+at http://www.mot.com/SPS/HPESD/tools/freeware/040fpsp.html.  Here is
+the description from that page:
+
+  The MC68040 contains a subset of the floating-point hardware that is
+  implemented in the MC68881/882 devices and as such provides reduced yet
+  high performance on-chip floating-point support. Those applications that
+  require full compatibility with earlier members of the M68000 family
+  will need to provide emulation support fo r the un-implemented MC68040
+  floating-point instructions. The M68040FPSP provides complete emulation
+  of the floating-point functionality available in the MC68881/882. 
+
+  The M68040FPSP is offered in source code form to allow integration into
+  existing systems to support either a kernel or library version of
+  floating-point support. The M68040FPSP operates in conjunction with the
+  on-chip MC68040 features to provide fast and full emulation. The kernel
+  version allows full emulation via a trap mechanism to allow full binary
+  compatibility and is fully reentrant. The library version is used to
+  eliminate the trap overhead in situation where re-compilation is
+  possible or desired. 
+
+From this page one may download the original source code.  Inline with
+the first sentence of the second paragraph, we have integrated it with
+RTEMS.
