(*
 * If an invalid floating point operation was performed the Floating-point unit (FPU)
 * generates a Floating-point exception (FPE). Dependending on the settings in
 * the FPU's control-register (interrupt mask) the FPE is handled by the FPU itself
 * (we will call this as "FPE disabled" later on) or is passed to the application
 * (FPE enabled).
 * If FPEs are enabled a floating-point division by zero (e.g. 10.0 / 0.0) is
 * considered an error and an exception is thrown. Otherwise the FPU will handle
 * the error and return the result infinity (INF) (10.0 / 0.0 = INF) without
 * throwing an error to the application.
 * The same applies to a division by INF that either raises an exception
 * (FPE enabled) or returns 0.0 (FPE disabled).
 * Normally (as with C-programs), Floating-point exceptions (FPE) are DISABLED
 * on program startup (at least with Intel CPUs), but for some strange reasons
 * they are ENABLED in pascal (both delphi and FPC) by default.
 * Many libs operating with floating-point values rely heavily on the C-specific
 * behaviour. So using them in delphi is a ticking time-bomb because sooner or
 * later they will crash because of an FPE (this problem occurs massively
 * in OpenGL-based libs like projectM). In contrast to this no error will occur
 * if the lib is linked to a C-program.
 *
 * Further info on FPUs:
 * For x86 and x86_64 CPUs we have to consider two FPU instruction sets.
 * The math co-processor i387 (aka 8087 or x87) set introduced with the i386
 * and SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) introduced with the Pentium3.
 * Both of them have separate control-registers (x87: FPUControlWord, SSE: MXCSR)
 * to control FPEs. Either has (among others) 6bits to enable/disable several
 * exception types (Invalid,Denormalized,Zero,Overflow,Underflow,Precision).
 * Those exception-types must all be masked (=1) to get the default C behaviour.
 * The control-registers can be set with the asm-ops FLDCW (x87) and LDMXCSR (SSE).
 * Instead of using assembler code, we can use Set8087CW() provided by delphi and
 * FPC to set the x87 control-word. FPC also provides SetSSECSR() for SSE's MXCSR.
 * Note that both Delphi and FPC enable FPEs (e.g. for div-by-zero) on program
 * startup but only FPC enables FPEs (especially div-by-zero) for SSE too.
 * So we have to mask FPEs for x87  in Delphi and FPC and for SSE in FPC only.
 * FPC and Delphi both provide a SetExceptionMask() for control of the FPE
 * mask. SetExceptionMask() sets the masks for x87 in Delphi and for x87 and SSE
 * in FPC (seems as if Delphi [2005] is not SSE aware). So SetExceptionMask()
 * is what we need and it even is plattform and CPU independent.
 *
 * Pascal OpenGL headers (like the Delphi standard ones or JEDI-SDL headers)
 * already call Set8087CW() to disable FPEs but due to some bugs in the JEDI-SDL
 * headers they do not work properly with FPC. I already patched them, so they
 * work at least until they are updated the next time. In addition Set8086CW()
 * does not suffice to disable FPEs because the SSE FPEs are not disabled by this.
 * FPEs with SSE are a big problem with some libs because many linux distributions
 * optimize code for SSE or Pentium3 (for example: int(INF) which convert the
 * double value "infinity" to an integer might be automatically optimized by
 * using SSE's CVTSD2SI instruction). So SSE FPEs must be turned off in any case
 * to make USDX portable.
 *
 * Summary:
 * Call this function on initialization to make sure FPEs are turned off.
 * It will solve a lot of errors with FPEs in external libs.
