Re: [boost] [floating point utilities]

While porting the proposed Boost.Units (currently mcs::units) library  
to some (mainly older)
platforms, we have run into problems with <cmath> functions being  
unavailable. For example,
gcc 3.4.4 on Cygwin does not implement nexttoward, llrint, llround  
(possibly others). Given
that the proposed fp utilities library already gives portable  
implementations of some TR1
functions in <cmath>, is it possible to extend support to provide a  
TR1 support for all functions
aside from the special functions that John and Paul are working on  
providing?
