I have been exploring the use of Stephen Moshier's Cephes Library in C (which the author has agreed to make available under the Boost license) to provide an implmentation of many of these functions, AND the other missing, and in many cases MUCH more important IMHO, math 'special' functions, mainly requiring the Incomplete beta function, as I proposed http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2004/n1668.pdf but which was rejected as 'too difficult' - for which I suspect means 'too expensive'). Many of the functions in TR1 appear to be present in Cephes and require re-packaging to produce AN implementation in C++ (almost certainly not as good as Dinkumware's but still functional and Standard compliant - since no accuracy is specified). So I am slightly optimistic that we might be able to produce a Boost version that provides BOTH TR1 and the additional proposals for TR2.
