Yeah, I don't think this is much of an improvement.

Why don't you use math.h NAN macro ?
A quick search on google gave me

That's not portable enough.

The INFINITY macro is part of C99, but for NaN, why not use something
like sqrt(-1) ?

We don't use C99 features in Wine, some compilers don't support them.

sqrt(-1) may or may not work, but it will be essentially the same as 0.0 / 0.0. Compilers may complain about sqrt(-1) just as they do with the 0.0 / 0.0 division.
