Crays

Sorry about the delays recently - I've been somewhat busy recently due
to a variety of reasons.
My inbox says that following patch makes op/numconvert pass tests
209,210,217,218 on Crays
[and presumably anything else where 1.0 + (double) ~0 is less than ~0]

I may have more time on my hands in the short term, so hopefully my do
list will see some progress.
[remaining numeric problems on Crays {any other platforms?}
 64 bit pp_divide, pp_modulo, grokking 64 bit hex, octal and binary,
 filters on coderef @INC, fixing ex::lib::zip because N I-S is a moving
 target [about 150 miles], h2xs bugs and patches passed to me
 and probably some things that slip my mind.]
