Cool.  I think it would be great to eliminate more GPL.

It would be cool if you had a regression suite for this.  Perhaps we 
could just whatever regression suite GNU bc/dc has (there would not be 
any GPL issues with the resulting program if we merely used a GPL'd 
regression suite, since it is not linked into the resulting program).
