I'm aware of bde's recent work, and he and I have exchanged 
several emails concerning ccosh(), logl(), and style(9).  bde
has been concentrating on fixing the float functions, which
can be tested for all possible float values.  I've taken up
the crusade of implementing the missing C99 complex and long
double functions.  I was hoping to draw other prople into
the discussion, and if possible attract others to contribute.  
There are numerous missing C99 complex and math functions.

I also have implementations for acoshl and asinhl, which
(statistically) give <1/2 ULP over their ranges with two
minor exceptions.  acoshl in [1,1.5] and asinhl in [-1,1]
degrade to only 58 bits of precision.
