There are new include files for the ieee math libraries.

There is a libraries/mathlibrary.h (should have been mathieeelibrary.h as
I reflect on it) which describes the MathIEEEBase structure.

There is mathieeedp.h which has a bunch of #defines like
#define acos	IEEEDPAcos
etc.
The mathffp.h has been reworked and contains defines like
#define acos	SPAcos

These libraries also define the proper return types like float or double.

There is also a resource/mathresource.h include file to describe the
resource data structure that the ieee math libraries now look for
when they start up. The MathResource is used to inform the system of
math hardware that can be used to speed up calculations.

Although I do contract work for Amiga-LosGatos, my opinions probably
don't represent those of Commodore or its management or its engineers,
but I think the world would be a better place if they did.
