I just wanted to point that on windows, there are two known test
failures concerning long double printing. They should only concern the
printing, and do not affect computation; if you don't use long double on
windows, this does not affect you at all.

Unfortunately, I did not find an easy way to fix it (I could not make
the obvious fix to work, and the underlying cause is that our
configuration system became a bit of a spaghetti code in this case,
which I am hoping to fix for 1.3, but is too big of a change for 1.2).

cheers,
