Ah, so tomorrow a single and double precision build will automatically be
made? Cool.

Also, as I was busy with my life (buying a flat) these days, and I couldn't
follow the list as precisely as I wished, could you advise me what's the
current best way to roll my own double precision pd? Because I would like to
benchmark a fully optimised one.
