I know about MPFR and noticed some time ago that it contains such 
functions, but I have not tested this library as I had no time to switch 
my codes to it. However, I will do it soon.

I developed my functions during several long evenings to deal with some 
problems on computational cluster with installed GMP, not forcing 
administrator to install MPFR.

I do not know if there is a trend to suspend GMP in floating point 
partand urge users to switch to MPFR - if so, my work was only for fun. 
However, I cannot deduce such feeling from GMP page and "plans" page 
include developing of such functions. If they can be somehow used, its 
my pleasure.

I am just installing MPFR under Cygwin and will play a bit with MPFR, 
noticing about my conclusions.
