@njs: to point out that usefulness of this module is not just wishful thinking. 
I just used it to locate, up to the line in a Python extension module written 
in C, a bug in Sagemath (that has perhaps 20 FPU-using extensions, some of them 
as large as numpy).  (Without using it we were pulling out our hair for weeks 
over this)

Thanks goodness that fpectl@FreeBSD is easy to fix by commenting out a couple 
of "fpresetsticky(fpgetsticky());" lines---fpresetsticky() is not available on 
64-bit platforms.
(our primary concern is OSX, where fpectl never worked---fortunately FreeBSD is 
close enough relative...)
