Sorry for the follow up.  gdtoa isn't GPL-ware, my bad.  As Peter
pointed out, it's the initials of the author, not GNU.  And that said,
it looks like gdtoa is here to stay given that it's just the updated
version of our older strtod() routines.  I'll just use
__FreeBSD_version > 500112 as the method for detection.  -sc
