configure.in supports the option '--with-fpectl'

However, the "Configuration options and variables"
section in the Python-2.3.3/README file mentions many
options, but does not mention --with-fpectl

I think the README should contain a few lines saying
what the default setting is and why you may want to
switch it on or off.

Waaa, the correct thing to is to remove the --with-fpectl from configure!  I've 
been meaning to post to python-dev for a while now proposing the ripping out 
of this code.  It's just not useful any more.  At any rate, I am actively opposed to 
advertising its existence more widely.

Added the question about fpectl to PEP 356, this will be
resolved before 2.5.
