* ld128/k_expl.h:
. Split out a computational kernel,__k_expl(x, &hi, &lo, &k) from expl(x).
x must be finite and not tiny or huge. The kernel returns hi and lo
values for extra precision and an exponent k for a 2**k scale factor.
. Define additional kernels k_hexpl() and hexpl() that include a 1/2
scaling and are used by the hyperbolic functions.
* ld80/s_expl.c:
* ld128/s_expl.c:
. Use the __k_expl() kernel.

as a fairly faithful implementation of the algorithm found in
PTP Tang, "Table-driven implementation of the Expm1 function
in IEEE floating-point arithmetic," ACM Trans. Math. Soft., 18,
211-222 (1992).
Over the last 18-24 months, the code has under gone significant
optimization and testing.

* Use the ENTERI/RETURNI macros, which are no-ops on ld128. This
