Hello

There is new version of patch. I have separated ordering operators to different 
patch (https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/patch_view?id=1243), fixed 
formatting issues and implemented backward compatibility with old-style points 
in cube_is_point() and cube_out().

Also comparing output files I've discovered that this four files is combination 
of two types of different behavior:

1) SELECT '-1e-700'::cube AS cube;
can be (0) or (-0)

2) Amount of zeros in exponent of floating point, i.e. SELECT '1e27'::cube AS 
cube;
 can be (1e+027) or (1e+27)

On my system (OSX) it is second option in both situations. I've also tested it 
on FreeBSD 9.0 and Ubuntu 12.04 with the same results. So is there some ideas 
how can I reproduce such results?

Stas.
