 pxd is the equivalent of a header file for cython, the corresponding
cfloat.pyx file (corresponding to .c file) is missing the
declaration/usage/implementation.  should be quite straightforward to
add.

 building of sfpy is a bit of a pain: manual patches to both the
berkeley and posit Makefiles are recommended, alongside a manual build
process.

 cython... manual Makefile patching... rust is looking attractive right now :)
