Here's a new patch that addresses several remarks:
o _decimal now has __floor__ and __ceil__methods.
o libmpdec is now in a separate directory.
o I removed the big libmpdec test suite. This is why:
- It reduces the number of files that has been criticized multiple times.
- Probably I'll be the only one who will be running the test suite.
- The test suite is still on PyPI.
- The test suite is so large that it's a magnet for toolchain bugs.
For example, it found a bug in suncc (acknowledged and fixed by Sun)
and a bug in CompCert (acknowledged and fixed by Xavier Leroy).
I'm really worried that *if* someone runs the tests and finds
an obscure bug, I'll have to spend hours debugging something
that might ultimately be an external bug.
o Renamed "python" directory into "tests".
o Test functions in mpdecimal.c are removed.
o All files in libmpdec that aren't required for _decimal are removed.
o Extra functionality in _decimal.c is commented out. This does not
yet cover the FloatOperation signal, which I would like to add
to decimal.py as well (I'll ask later on python-dev).
