Dr. Dobbs Journal, a few months back, had some information and
references on integer based transcendentals using the cordic
algorithms.  Forget the issue number, but it was the issue with the
guy hammering away on the DOS (640K) wall.  Looked pretty interesting.
I filed it away since I'll need to do some transcendentals soon enough.
If your input values are always bytes, why not use a table lookup?
