Documentation?  Don't you mean you're going to set up your own web site
devoted to complex functions in Cygwin?  I think we all know that's the
most effective way disseminate information about Cygwin.  Keeping the
information distributed means there is no single point of documentation
failure.

This is open source.  Therefore, the documentation is already available, 
in the form of source code, right?

As long as the source code is available via a web forum, I guess you're
right.

  Say, how is the cygwin wikia doing these days?

http://cygwin.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

> 24 articles since Month, Year

  That many, huh?

  See, this is why I don't think it was wrong to discourage someone from
repeating the same pointless waste of time.

    cheers,

Ok I will add somewhere here 
http://matzeri.altervista.org/

just below the cmake truly cygwin packages....

in reality all this C99 started as I want to rid 
of the test failures of octave due to
incorrect handling of complex Inf .

-----------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> processing /pub/hg/octave/src/data.cc
  ***** assert(log2(complex(0,Inf)), Inf + log2(i));
!!!!! test failed
assert (log2 (complex (0, Inf)),Inf + log2 (i)) expected
Inf + 2.266i
but got
NaN + 2.266i
NaNs don't match
-----------------------------------------------------------

So it is a pure math aesthetic personal need.
But, I have not yet checked if it works.

 :-? 
Murphy go away

Cheers
