New description:
FreeBSD does not currently have a full C99 libm and therefore also needs
cephes. The attached patch enables cephes on FreeBSD, enables error
checking and renames the long double gamma() functions in line with C99.
The latter two components are applicable to Cygwin as well as FreeBSD.

Additional comments for perusal in the future:
A number of areas still need work - in particular some of the cephes self
tests have been removed and some of the other self tests fail (at least
some of the failures reflect bugs in cephes). Suitable self-tests and a
spkg-check script need to be developed. It's possible mpfr could be used
as a reference library.

Comment (by jpflori):
New spkg with SPKG.txt including a note with what stephen posted.
As the change is minimal I'm leaving this as positive review.
