Can't help but be ugly when dealing with all the compilers out there.

I think MSVC uses _inline

What does this last bit do? We implicitly assume that ieee floating point is
available.

I'm not sure about the names. I would prefer to keep the declarations along
the lines of
double * NPY_RESTRICT ptmp;
As it is easier to read and understand without going to the macro
definition. Note that David has a quite involved check for the inline
keyword implementation and I expect he would want to do the same for the
restrict keyword. I think using lots of #if defined(xxx) might be easier but
I leave that stuff alone. It's David's headache.
