Could I suggest that if someone decides to hack a math library
and place it in the public domain, a good guide might be
the book "Software Manual for the Elementary Functions", Cody and
Waite, published by Prentice-Hall, 1980, ISBN 0-13-822064-6.
This book is intended for compiler writers and such who must
make a library of functions containing sqrt, sin, cos, etc.  It
gives full algorithms along with discussion of implementation
techniques.  A math library following these guidelines might
not be the last word in math libraries, but it should be relatively
robust and correct.
