While we are at it: I have enabled Karatsuba multiplication for t_REAL (code
has been here for at least 2 years, but was unused). It is not properly tuned
yet, but at least it seems to give correct (and correctly rounded) results.

The speedup is not that impressive: a factor 2 for exp(1) at \p20000, a
factor 4 at \p100000. I have not implemented Mulders or Hanrot-Zimmermann
short products (maybe a further 30%, on average ??).
