Thanks for looking into these.   These functions were contributed by 
Konrad Hinsen (IIRC) many years ago and I don't think they've really 
been reviewed since then.   

I'm all for using C99 when it is available and improving these functions 
with help from cmathmodule.  IIRC, the cmathmodule was contributed by 
Konrad originally also.

So +1 on C99 standardization.
