arbee 62be291842 Initial import of SoftFloat release 3E [R. Belmont]
This is a pre-usage import so everyone can get things in line for various compilers.  GCC/Clang should be OK on most targets as-is;
MSVC may need to edit 3rdparty/softfloat3/build/MAME/build.h to conform.  Please report failure/success with various compilers.

Berkeley SoftFloat is a software implementation of binary floating-point that
conforms to the IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic.
SoftFloat is distributed in the form of C source code.
Building the SoftFloat sources generates a library file (typically
<CODE>softfloat.a</CODE> or <CODE>libsoftfloat.a</CODE>) containing the
floating-point subroutines.

<P>
The SoftFloat package is documented in the following files in the
<CODE>doc</CODE> subdirectory:
