[ Missing lgamma(3) function ]

Because 'We Care', FreeBSD has gotten versions of this and other missing
math functions which have been tested and are now in the FreeBSD
release.  Thanks go to Andrew Moore who did the work.  (This was one of
the missing features that went in before the code freeze)

(Major smileys on the 'We Care' bit for those who didn't catch the
humor there. :-)

Because this is BSD, and not SVR4, it will not be in FreeBSD.  (And
because I've never heard of it before as well, or seen it implemented
anywhere.  BTW- I recommend the Steven's book highly)
