should fix the problem in the same way that
the cmath.phase problems were fixed.

the phase and polar methods.

cmath module is loaded) instead of statically. This fixes compile-time
problems on platforms where HUGE_VAL is an extern variable rather than
a constant.

Thanks Hirokazu Yamamoto for the patch.

math.pow behave on alpha Tru64.  All IEEE 754
special values are now handled directly; only
the finite**finite case is handled by libm.

special-value handling to math.modf code.

test_math, to help track down debian-alpha
buildbot failure.

Remove meaningless 'in radians' from inverse
hyperbolic functions.

0**nan is nan, not 0.  (But nan**0 and 1**nan are 1.)

Also fix minor typo: 'quite NaN' -> 'quiet NaN'

Windows/VS2008 doesn't like (-1)**(+-inf).

handling code in math.pow, in the hope of making all
tests pass on the alpha Tru64 buildbot.

The bits and pieces for the Windows side were already in place. The POSIX side is trivial (as usual) and uses os.kill().

More Windows related fixes are coming soon

Perform additional cleanup, mostly deleting from sys.modules, or clearing the warnings registry.

I finally got the time to update and merge Mark's and my trunk-math branch. The patch is collaborated work of Mark Dickinson and me. It was mostly done a few months ago. The patch fixes a lot of loose ends and edge cases related to operations with NaN, INF, very small values and complex math.

The patch also adds acosh, asinh, atanh, log1p and copysign to all platforms. Finally it fixes differences between platforms like different results or exceptions for edge cases. Have fun :)

Rewrite introductory section, and remove old section.  (It was already commented-out, but why keep it?)

Can we move the big long copyright statement into a sidebar or something?
