   The entire F vs S and D vs G vs T thing can be messy.   
      
   If we are talking about linking with binaries then it is   
   essential that your float/double match the library.   
      
   But if you can build everything from scratch then most likely   
   there are no problems.   
      
   Yes - D, G and T have slightly different characteristics, but   
   if that difference matter then I will suggest follow Hoff's   
   advice: run!
