[fpc-devel] size of extended

[peter green]

in the freepascal "programmers guide" it says "For all other processors 
which support floating point operations, the extended type is a nickname 
for the type which supports the most precision". A few points about this

1: is there a table anywhere of the size of extended on different 
platforms? if so should it be included in or at least referenced form 
the programmers guide?
2: the mentions of m68k (which was dropped a while back afaict) and very 
little else in the manual makes me suspect the manual in general may be 
rather outdated.
3: afaict x64 appears to have true extended yet the text strongly 
implies that x86 is the only architecture that does.
