Summary: expm1 and log1p

Initial Comment:
Could we please have expm1 and log1p interfaced in the 
math module (where these exist in libm)?   These are 
essential for any serious mathematical applications.
lgamma would be nice too.

Hard one, since none of those functions are required by the 
C89 standard, Python doesn't require more than C89, and the 
math module overwhelmingly consists of thin wrappers 
around the platform C's implementations.  When C99 is 
universally available, then it will be easy.  Before then, 
someone would have to volunteer non-trivial work (for 
example, Microsoft's C runtime doesn't supply any of these -- 
it's a x-platform mess).
