[issue1580] Use shorter float repr when possible

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Hello folks,

IIUC, autoconf tries to enable SSE2 by default without asking. Isn't it
a problem for people distributing Python binaries (e.g. Linux vendors)
and expecting these binaries to work on legacy systems even though the
system on which the binaries were compiled supports SSE2?

Or am I misunderstanding what the changes are?
