from mitch alsup on comp.arch:

This all falls out for FREE if you start with FP compare to ZERO and
then figure out how the same logic can be used for integer instead of
the other way around.

I have the logic schematic (3 pages) is you desire to peruse. The overhead
of adding FP to INT compare is around 10% in gate count.
