Take advantage of the math library's ldexp for assembling a float by
components without division and without roundoff error for properly
sized mantissas (i.e. on systems with 53 or more mantissa bits per
float). Eliminates the previous implementation's rounding bias as
aptly demonstrated by Tim Peters.
