Looking at tests/libclink, there seem to be three categories of missing
functions:

(a) lots of new floating-point functions - ~2/3 of the missing functions seem
to fall in this category;

(b) wide-character support;

(c) string to number conversion routines.

I thought K. B. Williams was looking at (a). Does anyone care about (b)? (I
assume someone would have coded it by now, if they cared enough.) I can take a
look at (c) sometime.

Note that I updated tests/libclink using a draft of the new POSIX standard.
Some more functions may turn up, when I go through the C99 standard.

Bye, Rich =]
