Arbitrary precision binary float class?

Are there any packages for arbitrary precision binary floats?
Something along the lines of Gnu Multi Precision. I saw quite a few
rationals classes, but not this. Just looking to be able to use any
mantissa or exponent I want. Of course it would be software based
arithmetic.
