Page 94, Section 3.3.13 of the "Microsoft C 5.1 Optimizing Compiler
User's Guide" incorrectly lists ceil and floor as functions that have
intrinsic forms.

As correctly noted in the "Microsoft C 5.1 Optimizing Compiler
Run-Time Library Reference" on Pages 152 and 270, ceil and floor are
macros defined in the include file MATH.H.
