Re: obnoxious "not implemented" messages

You will not see the message unless your program is really broken.

The only reason Zack cares about this is since his test suite will see
the messages when looking at the results from the libm-test.c use.  No
working program ever will use the functions.  And if a program really
uses them I want to know why it breaks and not have a rather cryptic
diagnosis via a SNaN.
