It is too long because I didn't have tme to make it shorter :-).

The commit logs aren't quite the right place for describing the
(apparently) not very well known intricacies in libm, but neither is
the code, especially here since I plan to optimize the float case by
not using floats internally and then the intricacies in e_rem_pio2f.c
will mostly go away.  This one will move to e_rem_pio2.c if we start
porperly supporting long double precision on i386's before gcc properly
supports double precision on i386's, but I want to keep e_rem_pio2.c
in sync with the vendor version.
