Comment:

 Per
 [http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=fesetround&sektion=3&manpath=FreeBSD+8.0-RELEASE

 fesetround() man page] on FreeBSD,

 {{{
 The fegetround() and fesetround() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999
 (``ISO C99'').
 }}}

 See also

 fenv()].

 Can't the C99 case, then, be chosen in hw_rounding.hpp for FreeBSD?
