At this point, it is not clear to me that the float and double versions of
math functions in our math library satisfy C99 (as amended). If it doesn't
matter, perhaps

Ok. Should we<BR>
<BR>
0. wait for the long double versions to to complete,<BR>
<BR>
1. add the non-long double versions and add the long double versions<BR>
later, or<BR>
<BR>
2. add what we got right now.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I'm willing to do any of the above. A plus would be if we could do<BR>
this the nearest days as I think I'll have some time DJGPP _NOW_. If<BR>
we delay a week, my window of time is probably lost and we'll have to<BR>
wait a year or two or so...<BR>
<BR>
This is not to put pressure on anyone. It's ok whatever happens; I'm<BR>
just stating my time availability.<BR>
