This seems to be a misunderstanding. I don't need a fast floating point
format. What I've said was that I'm willing to consider an already existing
floating point library if hard numbers show that it is considerably faster
than a possible IEEE conformant implementation. 

It will probably not happen in the near future, but if I would have added
floating point, I would have written a IEEE compatible library without looking
at something else:-)
