One thing that could be done is to have a "math/cephes" port that adds the extra C99 math functions. This is already done in the math/sage port, using a rather clever patch due to Peter Jeremy, that applies to the cephes code.

What it would do is to create a /usr/local/lib/libm.so that would provide the extra functions not currently included in /lib/libm.so, and then link in /lib/libm.so as well. It would also create its own /usr/local/include/math.h and /usr/local/include/complex.h as well.

What do you guys think? Do you want someone to start experimenting with this idea? I could do it, but probably not for a little while.

Stephen
