I don't know. On I was just asking. On unixoid systems I sort of assume
you could add tests to the configure script to detect what worked. If
converting the strings works you're done. If not, maybe Robert Kern's numpy
code could be run in the configure script to generate constants for NaN and
Inf that could be used in floatmodule.c. Windows would probably have to be
hard-coded, but except for 32-bit and 64-bit differences it should be the
same all over, yes?
