Haha.

I just happened to get that value as part of a conversation and
since I didn't want to add a dependency on float.h and risk a portability
problem with systems using different values or whatever, I simply added the
define there.

I suppose using 1.7976931348623157081452E+308 causes less friction. Doesn't
it?

Oh. If I run 'make checksrc' I get those warnings too. But not when I build
regularly or build in tests (which is my regular method to see those
warnings). I'll look into fixing this.
