#961: Add an option for enabling floating point exceptions

 Priority:  minor        |   Milestone:     
Component:  Cactus       |     Version:

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Cactus disables floating point exceptions, so that NaNs and Infs can be
 generated by numerical code.  When debugging, it is sometimes very helpful
 to use these exceptions, as a debugger will tell you exactly which piece
 of code generates them.

 I propose that Cactus should have a run-time parameter, defaulting to
 "no", which enables floating point exceptions.
