Gilles Respectability is perfect -- easy to understand and follow beats slick algorithms every time, in my books. Since libm is largely a bunch of standalone functions, I'd tackle it one function (family?) at a time -- when you get an implementation you're happy with, send in a patch to lib/math, and over time we end up growing it to cover whatever scope we feel is appropriate. I figure you've got the judgement to know in which order to tackle them. -- Ori Bernstein
