Ok, that is two people that have taken my 'numerical recipes'
statement very literally. I was just trying to say, "if you have a
few hours free, you CAN contribute. Just pick something that's
missing and write it." I looked to my left, saw the "Numerical
Recipes in C" book on my bookshelf, and used it as an example of
something you can do in a couple hours.
I obviously do not want to blindly duplicate the work of others.

I also didn't see any documentation for the interfaces being exported
in the browseable CVS tree off the savannah site, though I may have
missed it.
