Didn't help you much, I at least was already on vacation by then too :P

nit, what's that doing here? :)

Could we live with less precision and use 32-bit arithmetic only? That
might help 32-bit systems?

This is basically a 32.32 (31.32 for signed) fixed point number, right?
So I guess I'm asking if we could live with 16.16 (or 15.16), or
similar.

another pointless blank line

no need for parentheses :)

I think overall this looks good. I guess you should subject it to some
testing since I can't.
