Here is a technical question. I know that people always talk about
ulp's in the context of how good a function implementation is. I think
the ulp is the number of base 2 digits at the end of the mantissa that
we cannot rely on.
So if one were to write a naive implementation of lexp(x) that

One thing that could be done is to have a math/cephes port that adds
the extra C99 math functions. This is already done in the math/sage

- Remove ext2 support (GPL encumbered).
Remove ffs support also (BSD license encumbered).
- Add perl 5.8 *and* python 2.2 to base.
I agree - perl makes a perfect replacement for tar.
