 much of it is experimentation, i'm not very happy about the increased
size, however it's an unavoidable side-efffect of turning the original
code into (a) modules and (b) single-stage pipelines.

 also, the vast majority of it really really needs to be split to a
separate shared python module.

 i think the most sensible thing to do is for me to do fpdiv.py and
you to track that in fpmul.py.  the modifications required are
near-identical.

 let's start with using FPState?
