Changes in this release:
None of the base packages changed in this release.
Cadence found some interface bugs in "fixed_pkg" and "float_pkg", which were fixed.

I wound up doing quite a bit of work with algorithmic packages.  These are 
included as testcases and not in the spec.

1) Added Newton-Raphson divide routines (uses multipliers to do divides, 
efficient for larger numbers)
2) New fixed point algorithmic package (nr_divide, complex numbers, sqrt, cbrt, 
pow, ln, log, sin, cos, tan, arcsin, etc)
3) Rewrote several of the floating point algorithmic packages to use fixed point 
math where that is feasible.

157,063 lines of code and counting (14,238 more than last time)
