P_MAXDIG is only used in the lines below:

#define P_MAXDIG DBL_DIG
#define P_MAXLEN (2*(P_MAXDIG+7)+1)
static int      digits8 = P_MAXDIG;

Is it ok to remove #define P_MAXDIG DBL_DIG,
change P_MAXLEN to 2*(DBL_DIG+7)+1) and
remove the line 'static int      digits8 = P_MAXDIG;' ?

Would then change the two geo output functions and replace digits8 by 
DBL_DIG in the #ifdef GEODEBUG / #enfif output stuff.
