I will not do the TR1 isnan and signbit functions. I do no thave time.

I'm in the process of starting up a software company.
Our product has a shipping date of Nov. 1.
My partners tell me that I have already spent too much time on the Boost
stuff.

I will submit the facets to Boost with my is_nan and sign_bit functions
as a private implementation detail.
Someone else will have to do the TR1 stuff.

The facets are not substantial enough to form a new independent library.
Of the existing libraries, I think boost.math is the least unsuitable place.

If no one has a better idea, I will put the facets in namespace
boost::math, and I will put the header files in a folder boost/math/facet.

But an attempt to check is compiles with MSVC 8.0 failed - missing

Has been fixed. I c99_test.cpp from the project file. ;-)

Not that I'm aware of. The test succeeds on my machine (VC 7.1).
Please elaborate.
