Hi Michael,
It adds target hooks so the back end can overwrite the kind number for types.
I made the IBM long double type use KIND=15 instead of KIND=16, and Float128
uses KIND=16 as we've discussed. The tests for long double are still
failing, so I suspect we will need some way of signalling
This patch replaces the first patch.
Instead of disallowing long double and only dealing with float128 types, this
patch tries to accommodate the two.
